Forgive Me

Lord, keep these mouths from longing
Keep, these walls from falling
I put my time in plenty
Provide for my family
Or have I?
Have I been remiss?
Her heart is cooling on me. (On the road again)
We confer through our baby. (On the road again)
He's walking talking New Orleans. (On the road again)
What am I to my family? On the road again
Oh, have I been remiss?
And we've lived behind walls that have made us alone
Searching for pieces that may be a home
How in the world is another one gone?
Howling the words
Down, down, down.

Lord, keep these wheels a turning
I'm always rolling
Keep, these roads from burning
She's walking talking, louder again
I put my time in. Spare me
It's never stopping, you know
Have mercy. Forgive me
So, trip the path unbeaten
Its all I know to give them
Whisper a prayer in tatters
And hope it matters
I hope it matters
And we've lived behind walls that have made us alone
Searching for pieces that may be a home
How in the world is another one gone?
Howling the words
Down, down, down.
