Song Description

Guy on his way back to a woman he left

Lyrics

Well I'm fillin up my gas tank
Getting ready to ride
Spent a long time waiting'
But I'm coming back to your side
Well everybody makes mistakes
But sometimes we get a break
To mend the damage that we've done
Along on the way.

I called you on the phone
Left a message at your office a week ago
Never heard a thing
And then I felt the sting of a shoulder cold
But then on my voice machine
A message from you saying "Come back to me."
My regrets turned to hope - I'm burning highway tonight..

Driving on through the night with a cigarette keepin me company
Never felt so cold and I'm in serious need of your company
I thought I could make it alone but your lovin is a serious malady
Stopped in to the chapel to say my prayers and I'm back on the road to you.

We will be together best friends forever
Living as one
With a happy relation
Anticipation
Under the summer sun
When the tragedy of human pride
Stuck a cold knife into my side
Then my heartfelt song
Turned to sweet satisfaction in you.

Let the sun go down and I'll be there when you awaken
I thought I was so right
And now I know I was mistaken
And I am leaving this town with a sense
That I have been shaken
Stopped in to the chapel to say my prayers and I'm back on the road to you.
