Jimmy LaFave - Valentine's Day (live) lyrics

I'm driving a big lazy car, rushing down the highway in the dark Got one hand steady on the wheel, one hand's trembling over my heart And it's pounding, baby, like it's gonna bust right on through And it ain't gonna stop 'til I'm alone again with you Friend of mine became a father last night When we spoke, in his voice, I could feel the light Of skies and the rivers, the timberwolf in the pines That great jukebox on Route 59 They say he travels fastest who travels alone Tonight I miss my girl, mister, tonight I miss my home Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside Got me on this spooky old highway tonight Is it the cry of the river with the moon shining through And what scares me, baby, what scares me is losing you They say if you die in your dreams, you really die in your bed But, honey, last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head God's light came shining through Woke up in the dark, but I was born anew Wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me Wasn't the memory of a dream that that I never could see It wasn't the wind through the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms No, no, baby, it was you So hold me close, and say you're forever mine Let me be your lonely valentine Lonely valentine
