Dead Winter Carpenters Forty Four
Shuffling down this lonesome highway forty four
Pistol grip steady by my side
My doing my best just to let my mind wander
'cause your love's the best i can find
Now certainly have missed your sweet ruby lips
And the way your laughter lights your eyes
Nothing can explain a feeling like this
That can keep a young man tongue-tied
My loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on my way home to you
Yes, my loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on my way home to you
I've fallen on down to the bottom of a well
And I can't seem to scrape my way up
Skating on the edge of a live volcano
It's a strange place for a man to end up
Now I'm lost out at sea like a monkey in a circus
Or a parakeet trapped inside a cage
My aching old heart can't keep a steady beat
Unless your heart's on the same page
My loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on my way home to you
Yes, my loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on way home to you
Once again I'm waist-deep in a frigid spring creek
And I'm doing my best to strike gold
I'm a century late that seems to be my fate
It's the oldest sad story that's been told
My loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on my way home to you
Yes, my loneliness is down
My train's leaving town
And I'm on way home to you
