an icy road a freezing wind
shivers down my back again
that's the way its always been
running on into the night
headlights from the trucks so bright
screaming thru' the driving rain
soon be dawn the sun comes up
shining through the road's red dust
need to get some gas soon
ask the guy behind the cage
if hes ever seen your face
he don't even look at the photograph
first one, you're not the frst one
maybe the last, never the first one
first one, no not the first one
might take time, got you on my mind,
but you know you're not the first one
slowing down, there's cops ahead
broken truck and someone dead
gotta get off of this road
down a track into a small town
asking if they've seen you around
the answer's always no
find a place to wash my pain
get some rest and start again
not sure which way to go
keep going south or head out east
no matter what it still won't lead
me up to your front door
first one etc...
start to skid, tyre bursts
brakes not working like they should
this could be the end
if it ain't i'll get back up
thumb a lift from a southbound truck
start to search for you again
first one etc... x2
