Counting days, counting hours too.

I've been in a daze since our adieux.

Made it home to Texas in the driving rain.

Off of my tongue keeps tumbling your name.

I've been running blind

Half dead most of the time.

Workin' day and night time too.

Seems like I've gone insane,

Trapped in this crazy game.

Girl it's somethin' I've got to do to hold on to you.

(chorus)

Left my baby sleepin' in her white cotton gown.

Outside my window a soft rain was comin' down.

In my mind I see her that way.

I've gotta get back soon someday.

(chorus)
