An empty cup of coffee no cigarettes to smoke
A dirty two room walking flat's a long way my home
This life in New York City
Ain't what I thought it'd be
Loneliness and desperation is a closing in on me
The loneliness and desperation is a closing in on me
Lately get to thinking about the things I left back home
That healing country sunshine and a woman singing song
Then I turned back to the bottle, I turned back to the pain
And every night I'll kneel and pray I'll see her face again
Every night I'll kneel and pray I'll see her face again
The sign on the highway says it's fifteen miles to go
It's just as well a thousand in this freezing rain and snow
Well that ain't gonna stop me cause I know just where I'm bound
And if you ever look for me you'll know where I'll be found
If you ever look for me you'll know where I'll be found
