Woke up this morning, set off down the road   Left behind me all those years searching for a common soul   I've been looking for a thousand an' one distractions   To empty my mind of thoughts of loneliness   I've been lookin' for someone to take away my frustrations   But all I find is a sea of emptiness      Death will be my bride   Death will be my bride      Ooh, ooh   Ooh, ooh      Three hours from sundown still on the road   With those voices in my head, ringin' down the years   For the wind whispers my name   And the leaves they lend a helping hand   If I don't reach you by this time tomorrow   I'll be stone cold dead in the ground      Death will be my bride   Death will be my bride
