here's the back road i have been walking
and it never seems to end
twists and turns 'round mountains and valleys
like a lover folds to river bends
takes me on past lone empty diners
through vast deserts and plains
leads me deep into accented bayous
'long tracks saggin' with trains
and i don't know what it is
thought i left you far behind
that same old dream again
you're always on my mind
here's the last station where we once parted
its hollow and wind-swept seats
vaulted ceilings echo whispers of lovers
salted windows count their heartbeats
the platform is for entrances & exits
each of us has their part
but i don't 'spect much for applause
another another day, another broken heart
and i don't know what it is
when the train don't arrive on time
that same old dream again
you're always on my mind
here is a trail of storms and forgetting
high in the mountain range
watch the clouds kiss the peaks like a lover
hear the thunder sing my pain
feel the rain wash away all my sins
cleanse the earth, cleanse my soul
feel the wind dry all my tears
let this hollow make me whole
and i don't really understand
the rain has left only you behind
your phantom come again
why are you always on my mind
a burning serpent of asphalt and tar
human hubris baked in black
