[00:16.54] | It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears |
[00:23.01] | Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears |
[00:30.33] | That I was born in north carolina |
[00:34.44] | Not an hour from her home town |
[00:38.11] | And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball |
[00:45.88] | And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is |
[00:53.38] | We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives |
[01:01.02] | Where my days are strips of highway |
[01:04.98] | And she's wiping tables down |
[01:08.78] | Holding on and still waiting for that windfall |
[01:16.96] | But I've come home |
[01:24.14] | Even though I've never had so far to go |
[01:31.91] | I've come home |
[01:48.41] | I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill |
[01:54.82] | Head across the street where vacancy is burning in neon still |
[02:02.87] | Well the night eats up my body heat |
[02:06.78] | And there's no sign of another |
[02:10.24] | And I find myself slipping down into that black |
[02:19.39] | But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith |
[02:25.51] | I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days |
[02:33.17] | And I'm preaching from the pulpit |
[02:37.50] | To cries of“Amen brother” |
[02:41.43] | Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back |
[02:49.06] | And I've come home |
[02:56.08] | Even though I swear I've never been so alone |
[03:04.06] | I've come home |
[03:19.12] | I just want to be living as I'm dying |
[03:23.52] | Just like everybody here |
[03:27.01] | Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile |
[03:34.69] | And I don't know where I'm driving to |
[03:38.74] | But I know I'm getting old |
[03:42.31] | And there's a blessing in every moment every mile |
[04:06.14] | Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups |
[04:13.37] | Old gideons bible in the nigh |
