with all this time and all this stuff
you would think it would be enough
for a simple minded person like me

but still there is this empty part
deep inside my lonely heart
just enough to make it hard to sleep

and this life is long
and I was wrong

I don't want to die alone
a broken man in an empty home
wishing that I lived life differently

so I drove down 59
on my way to change your mind
make sure you knew how much this meant to me

but I got a flat tire
and damn I was tired

and it stopped me from getting to you
