I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do
Now Iâve one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you
Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ainât heard a word since then
So Iâll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind
All Iâve got is the radio and this empty distant sky
And Willieâs singing somewhere over the rainbow
But you no you wonât see the tears in my eyes
Chorus:
Before the night is gone
Wonât you tell me our love will linger on?
And knock that chip off your shoulder
Into your heart of stone to start a spark
âCause I need someway to see in the dark
Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true
The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few
We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home
But weâve got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones
When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds
Like the rivers from that point youâd go your way and Iâd go mine
Chorus:
The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs
The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize
About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again
They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand
But babe you never will and thatâs why I love you still
No matter how far we drift apart
Youâll always have a piece of my heart
Chorus:
