Driving through West Virginia And I’ve seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older
Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue-tied And I wish I’d had more time Listening to you speak your mind
Now I’m thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force?
Drinking coffee black as iron And I couldn’t be much higher Without falling out of my chair I’ve been so numb for so many years
Now I’m thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force?
And it’s so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night And it’s blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I’ll be home come next spring Won’t you say you love me later By and by
Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue-tied Pullin’ my belt tight It’s just me and the stars tonight Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I’d spent more time Listening to her speak her mind
Thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? I’m thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? I’m thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? I’m thinking ’bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?
