Buffalo Highway

I'm goin' down, this lonesome highway. 
Where it's takin' me isn't sittin' quite right. 
I think I'm lost and the snow's gonna get me, 
As far as I can see it all lies in front of me. 

But one day I'm gonna get mine baby, 
one day I'm gonna get mine. 
One day I'm gonna get mine baby...in good time. 

I'm goin' slowly through this dark region. 
It's hard not to reflect on all of my sin. 
It's gettin' cold I need you to hold me, 
This time and place is not where I should be... 

But one day I'm gonna get mine baby, 
one day I'm gonna get mine. 
One day I'm gonna get mine baby...in good time. 

If I turn around I'll be facin' what I have seen. 
Seein' it twice might make me go insane. 
I'm gettin close I can see it standin' in my way
At the days end it's another place I can not stay

(if you read them right, everyone will relate)
