Tree blows against my window

There's a storm brewin' in my heart

Watchin' credits roll on a late night TV show

Lonely street light peekin'

Through the cracks in the window shade

After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows



Did he watch her when she slammed the door

Like a hammer against a nail

Leavin' me in what's become

A lonely prison cell



Chorus

I thought always meant forever

Guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar

Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern

I was one for the road now your headed on back home



I met you at a party seems like only yesterday

We were fallin' in love and livin' to chase our dreams

I gave you flowers on Valentines

And I had a strong feelin' deep and down inside

That someday we'd make a home and a family



I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat

If you would only let me

I could learn to forgive if you would only forget

A hotel room down in Austin

After another one night show

I caught your silouette creepin' down the street

Under a moonlight glow



And as you took my hand

So went all my pain

We stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train



Chorus

And I thought always meant forever

And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar

Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern

I was one for the road and you headed on back home
