Desolate Highways

These last few years been passing me by
been building new bridges and breaking old ties
and theirs a woman or two I realize
I dont remember their names, but I remember their eyes
My nights become dimmer, the older I seem
filled with desolate highways, and old magazines
every smoke filled room I walk in
is like a temple of heartbreak, and a chapel of sin

Slowly im becoming
the ghost of myself
running around like an animal
lost in the cold
every sip I take is numbing
right down to the last cell
all I really ever need
is a good woman to hold

Every verse written down, every chorus I sing
is a way to calm down and be rid of the sting
you didnt have no reason, didnt have now right
but you committed the treason, that broke me that night
fire in my voice, and Ice in yours
I hope you made the right choice, when I walked out the door
I aint wishing you heartache, I aint wishing you bad
but dont you come running, when you wish we still had
Slowly im becoming
the ghost of myself
running around like an animal
lost in the cold
every sip I take is numbing
right down to the last cell
all I really ever need
is a good woman to hold

And slowly im becoming
the ghost of myself
all I really ever need
is a good woman to hold
