| Rest Stop Just three miles from the rest stop And she slams on the breaks She said I tried to be but I'm not And could you please collect your things I don't wanna be cold I don't wanna be cruel But I gotta find more Than what's happening with you If you'd - open up the door She said - while you were sleeping I was listening to the radio And wondering what you're dreaming when It came to mind that I didn't care So I thought - hell if it's over I had better end it quick Or I could lose my nerve Are you listening - can you hear me Have you forgotten Just three miles from the rest stop And my mouth's too dry to rage The light was shining from the radio I could barely see her face But she knew all the words that I never had said She knew the crumpled-up promise of this Broken down man - and as I opened up the door The Burn I thought about Leaving - but I couldn't even get outta bed Hitchin' - but I couldn't get a ride outta town Now anyone who really wanted me to be down Come 'round Thought about Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about Now I'm down And I wonder how I never got the Burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time Forgot About Everything and everyone I needed before Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time So I wonder how I never got the Burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time and still shine (hey everybody, lets all try and play the same song... just for the sake of our sanities) |
