Lonesome Drive

(album: Antique Hearts - 2006)

I left before the sun came up this morning
And I saw perfection as I walked away
I left a kiss on your cheek my darling
And for once in my life I didn't have nothing to say
I watched the dawn paint the skyline pastel
I watched the valley bring a sun to life
And I wonder if the flowers knew what happened
In the winter would they still open up to me in July

And this road gets kinda lonely
And the quick stop coffee is keeping me alive
I'm missing my baby and without her it's a lonesome drive

The raindrops keep falling on my pillow
And the sound of the wind is a drug that calms my nerves
I find my reflection in these windows
Hopelessly in love with much to learn
This dim-lit room with chills as cold as autumn
I found inspiration when it was me I was looking for
And the ghost of the girls that came before you
Still dance across these old hardwood floors

And this room gets kinda lonely
And the thought of her is keeping me alive
I'm missing my baby and I don't like living on lonesome drive

And this life gets kinda lonely
And the thought of her is keeping me alive
I'm missing my baby and what keeps me going is this lonesome drive
