Well, I don’t think that the city moves slow enough for me
So I’m gonna leave now and I ain’t showing no warnings
And I know that mama said that love’ll always lead you home
But I’ve been following this lonely road for way too long

So won’t you pray for me tonight?
I’ve been heading down a dark cold road
I’ve been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights
Hoping I can find myself back home

Now, I’m breaking 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 heading down a dark cold road
And I’ve been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights
Hoping 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 that love’ll always lead me home
But I been following a lonely road for way too long
