Miss You Lonesome
2008.02.18
With my troubles far behind
I'm driving south on State Route 9
Trying to beat this train that's passing by
I'm leaving you this time
Before you leave me high and dry
I've had enough complications for a while
So when I'm gone you'll cry
And I'll sit here miss you
Lonesome with you burning on my mind
I'm torn up all inside
With all the things that made you cry
The drinking and the gambling and the lies
So I'm leaving you this time
I guess you're feeling high and dry
And I wonder if I will ever feel alright
Questions
2007.04.25
When I speak, do my words carry on the wind?
Do they pass your ears a thousand miles away?
Do they die where they lived?
Can a heart be bent to the ground and not break?
If an ocean rages inside my chest
Will I drown in the flood about my neck?
If all my world were glass and my thoughts a stone
Would I be crushed and ground to dust with nothing left?
I need Your hand to stir my heart
To wash away the mark
I need Your hand to stir my heart again
If I turned my head to heal my life
Or closed my eyes so that I would dream a dream
Would I find if I turned to you this time
That you would be there for me?
Journal Entry

The sun came up in Memphis today
I was driving, the only one awake
I haven't slept enough 'cause last night was pretty rough
We broke down in Oklahoma and
Slept in some no-name town
This is the biggest sky I've ever seen
Under a blanket of stars
Are you thinking of me tonight, Sweetheart
We drove today on the longest road I've ever seen
Just shy of sixteen hours from Abilene
The mountains loomed so high, you could barely see the sky
But in the dark you could see the milk of the Milky Way
It's still a thousand miles to Phoenix and I hope we get there on time
'Cause we've still got a lot of driving to do today
Everyone is sleeping
I am all alone
I'm looking out the window
Thinking about the road
Diamond Ring
2007.04.25
Let down the flame and let it burn out
My words have fallen to the floor
I wouldn't blame you if you walked on out
And didn't come around here no more
Please just don't say that I am a good man
Please don't say that again
I'm standing alone in a room full of darkness
My tears are my only friends
What can I say to make this alright again
What can I do to kill all the pain
Do I stand in the doorway and not say a word to you
Or bury my head in my hands
If I swallowed my pride and said I couldn't change
If I bought you a diamond ring
Could we go back to the start of it all
Or would you walk out on mes
