[00:12.14][03:53.74][05:42.02] | |
[00:16.10] | It's desert ice outside |
[00:17.86] | but this diner has thawed my ears |
[00:22.26] | Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile |
[00:26.74] | when the waitress hears |
[00:29.50] | That I was born in north carolina |
[00:33.95] | Not an hour from her home town |
[00:37.66] | And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball |
[00:45.07] | And there's a glance in time |
[00:47.32] | suspended as I wonder how it is |
[00:52.72] | We've been swept up just by circumstance |
[00:57.92] | to where the coyote lives |
[01:01.56] | Where my days are strips of highway |
[01:05.46] | And she's wiping tables down |
[01:09.14] | Holding on and still waiting for that windfall |
[01:15.79] | But I've come home |
[01:22.98] | Even though I've never had so far to go |
[01:30.86][03:04.01][05:22.80] | I've come home |
[01:47.23] | I pay the check and leave the change |
[01:51.68] | from a crumpled ten-dollar bill |
[01:55.47] | Head across the street |
[01:57.48] | where vacancy is burning in neon still |
[02:03.73] | Well the night eats up my body heat |
[02:07.53] | And there's no sign of another |
[02:10.85] | And I find myself slipping down into that black |
[02:19.31] | But things are good I've got |
[02:21.26] | a lot of followers of my faith |
[02:25.06] | I've got a whole congregation |
[02:28.92] | living in my head these days |
[02:33.02] | And I'm preaching from the pulpit |
[02:37.63] | To cries of“Amen brother” |
[02:41.70] | Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back |
[02:49.16] | And I've come home |
[02:56.10] | Even though I swear I've never been so alone |
[03:19.41] | I just want to be living as I'm dying |
[03:23.83] | Just like everybody here |
[03:27.32] | Just want to know my little |
[03:29.86] | flicker of time is worthwhile |
[03:35.59] | And I don't know where I'm driving to |
[03:39.82] | But I know I'm getting old |
[03:43.49] | And there's a blessing in every moment every mile |
[04:05.82] | Thin white terry bars of soap |
[04:09.92] | and a couple little plastic cups |
[04:13.57] | Old gideons bible in the nightstand |
[04:16.98] | drawer saying“Go on open up” |
[04:21.36] | Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here |
[04:25.33] | Though I never was sure of god |
[04:28.97] | Think tonight I'll give him the benefit of the doubt |
[04:36.96] | I switch off the lights and imagine |
[04:40.02] | that waitress outlined in the bed |
[04:44.18] | Her hair falling all around me |
[04:48.51] | I smile and shake my head |
[04:51.87] | Well we all write our own endings |
[04:55.86] | And we all have our own scars |
[04:59.11] | But tonight I think I see what it's all about |
[05:06.98] | Because I've come home |
