When I first met you, didn't know a damn thing Just said that I would try to find my way Didn't have no money, just a set of wheels And a whole lot of time to kill I've been rolling on a Southern wind Cold and weathered in the eye of the storm Please, leave your light on In case I get back home before the dawn Oh, my Delilah Don't you miss me when I go Soon, I'll be riding Tryna find my way back home When I first left you, all I wanted was to stay Been six long months since I've lost my way Never saw it coming it nearly struck me blind The thought of ever leaving you behind I've been rolling on a Southern wind Cold and weathered the grip with a stone Please, leave your light on In case I get back home, darling, before the dawn Oh, my Delilah Don't you miss me when I go Soon, I'll be riding Tryna find my way back home Oh, my Delilah Don't you miss me when I go Soon, I'll be riding Trying to find my way back home Trying to find my way back home
