About an hour on the road And too many left to go There's a few things still on my mind about something so long ago Where by the shadow of the smoke And the feeling of hope There was story too short to be told A few feet from the highway line The trees are as dead as you and I Put on your sunglass face to cover up those hidden eyes Whenever it flashes back It just makes me laugh To think of how much I cried Just one more cup of coffee for the road So I can make it back to my home Back to that cabin on the lake swallowed up by the undertow And the shop is closed No one knows Where true love goes before it dies on the road

Back Again With Nothing
About an hour on the road And too many left to go There's a few things still on my mind about something so long ago Where by the shadow of the smoke And the feeling of hope There was story too short to be told A few feet from the highway line The trees are as dead as you and I Put on your sunglass face to cover up those hidden eyes Whenever it flashes back It just makes me laugh To think of how much I cried Just one more cup of coffee for the road So I can make it back to my home Back to that cabin on the lake swallowed up by the undertow And the shop is closed No one knows Where true love goes before it dies on the road
