Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart   Watching credits roll on a late night TV show   Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my 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 the nail   Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell      I thought always meant forever, I guess   You couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar   Like an old man drinking down at the tavern   Well, I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home      I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday   We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams I gave you flowers   On Valentines and I had a strong feeling deep 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 lean to forgive if you only forget      In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show   I caught your silhouette creeping 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      I thought always meant forever, I guess   You couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar   Like an old man drinking down at the tavern   Well, I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home
