in some dark and dirty bar, too far away from where you are.

Your not the only one that’s lonely.

There’s no salvation on the road. The only peace I know is home.

I ain’t in this for my health. Lord knows it isn’t for the wealth.

And you are always in my heart. The music’s always in my soul

And there’s nothing in between those two things that keep me whole.
