From the recording Where I'm From
If you have been away from home for a long time you know that drive, even if it is not for the same reason.
Lyrics
Can’t Take Back
Three long weeks on an open road.
Truck runs hot my blood runs cold.
Wonder will I make it home?
and if I do will you be alone.
I track this white line through the glass.
Watch as fence post fly on past.
Should I really drive this fast?
Hold this line or I might crash
Hot black coffee by the pot.
No time to sleep no time to stop.
Lost control, have I gone mad?
thinking bout the words we had.
I said things I can’t take back.
How long ago? well I’ve lost track.
Will you be home when I get there?
If you are will you still care?
Sun comes up to full daylight.
My eyes are heavy I’m losing this fight.
Longest night that I’ve been through.
My brain pounds out thoughts of you.
I hit the shoulder lost control.
Headed for that high line pole.
I said things I can’t take back.
Think of you then fade to black. Think of you then fade to black. I think of you then fade to black. Think of you then fade.
