It was wagons west when the wheels fell off I guess my lugs were loose when I hit the rocks I hauled the weight but never weighed the cost Never felt alone on this lonely trail Through the valleys deep and the snow-capped hills Am I halfway home or holed up in my cell? I bow my head and close my eyes And pray the shaking stops in time So I can look her in the eyes again If I come back down tonight My soiled soul might find the light I need a means that leads this to an end To an end, to an end Did I weather storms or make the rain? Did I love the hurt or ease the pain? I can't seem to bleed you from my veins I know she's not the one to blame There's one I love and one I chase One or both will lay me in my grave I bow my head and close my eyes And pray the shaking stops in time So I can look her in the eyes again If I come back down tonight My soiled soul might find the light I need a means that leads this to an end To an end, to an end I bow my head and close my eyes And pray the shaking stops in time So I can look her in the eyes again If I come back down tonight My soiled soul might find the light I need a means that leads this to an end To an end, to an end Did I weather storms or make the rain? Did I love the hurt or ease the pain? I can't seem to bleed you from my veins
