When the road gets dark And you can no longer see Let my love throw a spark And have a little faith in me When the tears you cry Are all you can believe

She has the wind as a witness She has feelings that fly by night She believes in forgiveness But it's not love if it holds too tight And you can fly

Saw a red tailed hawk eatin' road kill Said, "Man, what happened to your dignity?" He said, "Subdivisions have taken my home There's no more pray to eat

Love only stays for a little while, baby That's what I said 'cause I was scared Too scared to say what you mean to me, baby Too afraid to show how much

I thought we were gonna make that bridge, what did I know? Me and my expectations was always high 'Like A Rolling Stone' is playing on the radio It made

She marked our trail up the back bone ridge How many times can one dog pee Keeps me high as an eagle when I'm on the skids I guess you gotta come down

How fast you gonna run away from this one? Anywhere but here, you wanna disappear Into the next daylight, where every thing's right It's always somewhere

So now it's up to you if I should stay or go Though I've had no thought of leavin' You ask if it hurts me, honey, I don't know It's like a dream, a thin

Well, I do my best thinking, I'm sitting on my ass I'm just sittin' here waiting for things to pass You got places to go and people to see Well honey,
