Well, I don't think that the city moves slow enough for me So I'm gonna leave now, and I ain't showin' no warnings And I know that mama said her love will always lead me home But I've been followin' this lonely road for way too long
So won't you pray for me tonight? I've been headin' down a dark cold road I've been dreamin' of a porch swing with some lights Hopin' I can find myself back home
Now I'm breakin' horses out in Tishomingo And every night I lay there and wonder where good men's dreams go And most nights I wonder how far train cars can travel Or how far a man can go before one's truly unraveled
So won't you pray for me tonight? I've been headin' down a dark cold road And I've been dreamin' of a porch swing with some lights Hopin' I can find myself back home
Don't jump in so quick kid You're gonna wind up hurt She's with a new man in New York the last time I heard And I know that mama said her love will always lead me home But I've been followin' a lonely road for way too long
So won't you pray for me tonight? I've been headin' down a dark cold road I've been dreamin' of you by my side Prayin' I can get myself back home
