Just like clockwork, I close my eyes under the oil and dirt of that lovey sky
Come on baby, please tell me why you went away
Terry Allen's at the cactus tonight and the line is as long as most of my lies
I think I'll take a little drive before it starts to play
And that look keeps on spinning around Texas tech like the diamonds and gold
I put around your neck, that was your birthday
Why are you a million miles away?
Why aren't you here with me?
Cause I'm not good enough, reason for you to stay
I put my cigarette out and a lone star can, I know I'm not supposed to drive
But I don't give a damn, I took the 114 back to level land
I used to be on
Till this day I still can't believe you took your own breath back on New Year's Eve
Under that magnolia tree, you must have felt so alone
I took 90 miles an hour past that church of Christ, you know that baptism water
Just cold as ice but that was my birthday
The Lord took my sins away
Why are you a million miles away?
Why aren't you here with me?
Cause I'm not good enough, reason for you to stay
It's a long hard road coming back in the dark, I'll find an empty field putting my car in the park
You know I can't come home because you're the only life I've ever known
I will save my life for any detail that hurricane took my heart away
So Lord I'm coming back home because you're the only life I've ever known
I took 90 miles an hour past that church of Christ, you know that baptism water
Just cold as ice but that was my birthday
The Lord took my sins away
Why aren't you here with me?
Cause I'm not good enough, reason for you to stay
Lord take this pain away
