Well, lately I've been in one of those "need to get drunk and feel sorry for myself moods." I haven't given into it yet, I'm sure working 7 days a week has something to do with it, but to make up for it..I'm listening to some really sad country music...just thought I'd share one with ya
What I Left Behind
More road up ahead, my radio's still broken
The spinnin' of the wheels and the fencelines lead my way
Your picture on the dash and the need to fly so high
Are the only two things that I can't hold today.
I left you way down south, cryin' at the river's mouth
I got a show up north so I guess it's just as well.
You're still the one for me, but I'm the man I'll always be,
And I won't be the one who takes you straight to hell.
Cause I'm out here on my own, drinkin' all alone
Thinkin' 'bout things, and what I left behind.
And I need you more right now, to give me redemption somehow
Rollin' north up that red river line.
So don't you cry for me, cause I can taste what you can't see,
But always know you got a place in my heart.
I got an angel ridin' shotgut, got the devil in the back
and the war they wage is gonna tear me apart
So as I'm talkin to ya now, the sun is goin down
I dont' know where I am but God it makes me smile
I need just one more word, comin' from your sweet lips
I swear I'll call ya back in a little while
Cause I'm out here on my own, too tired and halfway stoned
Thinkin' bout things, and what I left behind
And I need you more right now, to give me redemption somehow
Rollin north, up that red river line.
