I m an engine driver
on a long run, on a long run
would I were beside her
she s a long one, such a long one
and if you don t love me let me go
and if you don t love me let me go
I m a county lineman
on the high line, on the high line
so will be my grandson
there are powerlines in our blood lines
and if you don t love me let me go
and if you don t love me let me go
I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
I ve written pages upon pages
trying to rid you from my bones
.....
my bones, my bones....
etc. until this beautiful song is over. Call some friends and have a weepy singalong.
