Tishomingo

(album: American Heartbreak - 2022)

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
