lyrics

You've been dead to my heart so long girl
There ain't nothin' I can do to bring you back
So I'll be goin' down along my lonely way baby
Down another old stretch of lonesome track

Cause I've been weary and so far past lonesome
That i've given up all my hope of ever comin' back
Now don't you worry don't you worry won't be long now I'll be a bale of black smoke comin' out the stack

Cause a woman done left me lovesick and scarred
Bleedin' from past wounds opened
Pray to sweet Jesus fly me out to the stars
Before my mind is broken

Won't let ém hang me, they'll not soon ever catch me
There's no way I'm ever gonna be brought back
I'll have 'em bury me along some lonesome highway or in another old ditch out by the tracks

Cause I've been burned out by so many bad ways that I don't know if I'm ever gonna fix me right
Had me a showdown with my seven rowdy demons, they been tellin' sweet lies tryin' to drive me from the light
