I've heard misfortune blossoms And wasted ways before me by the cause Of giving someone time enough for spending Love only borrowed I've placed myself
(M. Barnes/J. Browne/D. Jarvis) I've been down a highway A lonesome, two-lane highway Driving hard all night I've been thinking about you The truth is
(Kenny Alphin/Danni Leigh) Beatin' my head against the wall Love can't be figured out at all I thought the whole thing through Don't know what else to
Oh, cruel heart, how could you lead me on Then tear my whole world right in two I thought you were my friend Then you let me down Oh, cruel heart, you
Chain gang, chain gang Oh, turn me loose Why don't you set me free Of heartache and blues Well, he's gone, he's gone I can't stand the pain Set me free
(Jim Lauderdale) Divide and conquer That's what it's gonna do Getting near every time She gets close to you Crying on her shoulder You say she's just

Standing on the westbound track with my hands in my pockets The wind blows against my back pushing me down the line Guess I've had enough of this empty
