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 a good man'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
