Well, I don´t think that the city moves slow enough for me
So I´m gonna leave now and I ain´t showin´ no warnings
And I know that mama said her love will always lead you home

But I´ve been followin´ this lonely road for way too long

So won´t you pray for me tonight?
I´ve been headin´ down a dark, cold road
I´ve been dreamin´ of a porch swing with some lights
Hopin´ I can find myself back home

Now I´m breakin´ 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 headin´ down a dark, cold road
And I´ve been dreamin´ of a porch swing with some lights
Hopin´ 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 her love will always lead me home
But I´ve been followin´ a lonely road for way too long

So won´t you pray for me tonight?
I´ve been headin´ down a dark, cold road
I´ve been dreamin´ of you by my side
Prayin´ I can get myself back home
