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
