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 Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied And I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me? Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday 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 This 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 had more time Listenin' to her speak her mind Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?
