Travel 'round the country
   Look out for what I can get
   Another blessed highway
   Hey mister you're gonna regret
   'Cause you just reminded me of something
   I long to forget
   But no matter how much he drink or smoke
   My memory's still clear
   It hurts me dear
   It's sharp today like it was yesterday
   No I don't have much hope
   Just the other night I came
   Face to face with my past
   Came down like a lightning bolt
   Struck me with a flash
   I was praying all along
   That it would not last
   Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it
   Y'know the last time you rang
   I nearly died I almost cried
   I put my pride in my pockets
   And said you gotta stay cool cool cool
   Y'know some things just gotta hang
   Oh Lord Lord
   Take me back
   I'm going back
   The long track
   So do yourself a favor
   And leave me if you please
   So do yourself a favor
   And leave me if you please
   I'm in a cold cold canyon
   With a cold cold canyon breeze
  
   Woke up in a strange room
   And then I saw a door
   I went right over and opened it
   Though I'd never been there before
   Started presiding over the meeting
   The chairman said I had the floor
   And when we adjourned everyone
   was satisfied
   We all got our money
   Then went out where it was sunny
   But it was kind of funny
   To find out that I was such a dummy
   But there's no place you can really hide
