it was 14 hours for I left my bed this morning

seems I lost everything I had much without warning

more the man than I would have found time for crying

but I was in a barroom drowning my old friend's sorrow

I said mister, can't you see

no wife no family

driving misery



I'm like a train without a track

I got nowhere to go

and even if I did, I'd probably get there real slow

cause I've got holes in my shoes and it's raining like hell

now every thought is like a ringing bell

I said mister, can't you see

no wife no family

driving misery



one of these days I'm gonna get back home

find you there alone

god I hope so

given the chance

I'd probably do it all again

like I did before

I haven't learned a thing



there's a bus line leaving at a quarter to nine

it runs a long round between here and nowhere

I'm trying to miss it

cause I've been there before

and if I make it on

make sure I get a seat by the window
