There's a long highway in your mind

The spirit road that you must find

To get you home to peace again

Where you belong, my love lost friend

When you're alone You cheat yourself

A B7

You paint yourself in a dark, dark place

You get your shoes and get your hat

Get out here while you still can

There's nothin' right that you can say

You keep on talkin' anyway

and everyone seems to turn on you

There's nothing right that you can ever do
