Well I drive from town to town
North and south and western bound
Where no one knows my name
I tell my stories in song and sound
Turn me up, I wanna sing it loud
I'll show you where I lay my blame

Now I'm taking my makeup off
In somewhere southwest Arkansas
Sometimes it just all seems the same

The light doesn't show itself when I want it sometimes
With a crowd around me I still feel alone
But to appreciate the way that fate
Gets cluttered like a dirty slate
Sometimes it just has to be that way

I believe that there is a devil
And I know that he is no good
But if I never knew the devil
I'd never love you like I should

Well, four years ago we were just kids
Wondering what we got ourselves in
We were sittin' in my living room

Two days ago, hotel alone
I wish I could call you on the phone
But I just sat in gloom

But now were dancing in the kitchen light
You make the pain feel alright
Don't let this end too soon

Cause tomorrow I'll be on the road
Calling this old car a home
But my heart will stay here with you

The light doesn't show itself when I want it sometimes
With a crowd around me I still feel alone
But to appreciate the way that fate
Gets cluttered like a dirty slate
Sometimes it just has to be that way

I believe that there is a devil
And I know that he is no good
But if I never knew the devil
I'd never love you like I should

I believe that there is a devil
And I know that he is no good
But if I never knew the devil
I'd never, never, never love you like I should

Well I drive from town to town
North and south and western bound
I hope he don't forget my name"
