It's 5 AM in the countryside I drive this lonely and winding road I've been driving for miles and miles But where I'm going to, I just don't know My only friend is my truck I've got no one to listen to I see the sunshine every morning And all my thoughts are just of you Nothing I need to take with me But a bottle of gin and a steel guitar A bag with broken memories And a heart full of scars The engine hums, I sing my blues About the things I left behind Is it my genes or is it the booze? So many answers I may never find My dear, won't you take me back? I'm sorry for the things I've wrecked I know I didn't treat you very well But I'm tired of living in this hell It's a mean old world I've seen hunger, tears and pain Still so little I've learned Was the suffering all in vain? You hate me, you have the right The road ahead now is all I know I burned the bridges with my old life But my world with you I can't let go My dear, won't you take me back? I'm sorry for the things I've wrecked I know I didn't treat you very well But I'm tired of living in this hell
