Well I don't think that the city moves slow enough for me

So I'm gonna leave now and I ain't showing no warnings

And I know that mama said that love'll always lead you home

But I been following this lonely road for way too long.

So won't you pray for me tonight?

I've been heading down a dark cold road

I've been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights

Hoping I can find myself back home.

Now I'm breaking horses out in tishomingo

And every night I lie 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 heading down a dark cold road

And I've been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights

Hoping 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 that love'll always lead me home

But I been following a lonely road for way too long.

So won't you pray for me tonight?

I've been heading down a dark cold road

I've been dreaming of a you by my side

Praying I can get myself back home.
