As I drove down to El Paso From the canyons to Van Horn Looking for a better life to live I couldn't see right No end in sight Just a hitcher in the night In my headlight was Ted Levite I don't know if you believe me But he taught me how to go I don't know if you believe me But he taught me how to go Back to my girl, back home to my girl Ted and I were driving through the night Talking 'bout a daughter he don't know He said he wants to find his past now He waved goodbye And headed for her His silhouette began to blur
I never know if he ever found her I'm not trying to be like him now But you know you got my love I'm not trying to be like him now But you know you got my love Ted Levite taught me how - taught me how to get back home Ted Levite's in my mind - I don't know if he was real Ted Levite taught me how - taught me how to get back home Ted Levite - I'm almost home... Slowly the sun is rising Morning's coming way too fast Was it just a dream of mine Or was it him who taught me How to go back home --- .
