The days are burning
And the nights are black
There's a lone wolf howling
Out by the railroad track

My heart is aching
And something don't feel right
My thoughts go prowling round
And I keep well away from the light

Seems like I'm fading
Feels like I'm going down
The future's looking hazy
And it ain't gonna turn around
Ain't gonna turn around

There's some unfinished business in my life
There's some unfinished business

I can hear my baby calling
But that's just in my head
I've got to see her one more time
And say what needs to be said

That old wolf keeps howling
And I can't seem to rest
They call it wishful thinking
But I call it loneliness

My heart is racing
Cause I'm boarding the westbound train
Got to be first time lucky
Cause I won't be back again

There's some unfinished business in my life
There's some unfinished business

Now I'm sitting by the window
Watching the world go by
Three more hours to California
Then we're gonna fly so high
We're really gonna fly

I've got unfinished business in my heart
It's been unfinished business from the start
I've got unfinished business in my life
I've got unfinished business
