I went down to the Greyhound station
I picked up a long-legged man
I never thought someone could have so much control over me
This simple heart never even had a chance
We laid down up on that river
He kept me from the cold
And the tremble in his voice put the devil in my soul
And whispered me a story never told
Lord, save my soul from thinking about him
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
So I keep travelin', travelin' on
I wish some nights that things were different
But I can't help what's in my mind
You're so lost in your own world, you can't even hear me crying
But it's hard for me to leave it all behind
I think now upon that river
About when I lost all the will to try
But your blue eyes will no longer have control over me
'Cause I wanna get to heaven when I die
Lord, save my soul from thinking about him
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
So I keep travelin', travelin' on
So I keep travelin', travelin' on
