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
