lyrics

The clearest day can still call out for the rain
Diamonds shimmering upon the window pane
The winds they hiss and moan
And beckon me with their songs
I wonder when it was it might have all gone oh so wrong
A night spent hugging that ol' Tennessee rail
I step outside, I hope I tipped her well
And its a shame, grasping at what to blame
The spirit of fear that knows all of our names

Why should I choose to quit
When I'm so close to the end
Why should I forsake
The helping hand of an old friend
Sometimes it just feels
That choice is really no choice at all
Bad luck it seems, overcasted dreams
We succumb to the weight of it all

Mountain highway maundering
In a big body sedan
Expect me gone, long gone for long
Like ol' Mama Maybelle sang
This weight remains alone my burden
As I drive headlong across this land
We must take them
Hold dear whatever constants one can

Why should I choose to quit
When I'm so close to the end
Why should I forsake
The helping hand of an old friend
