Sorry About the Sorrow

It wasn’t a mutual agreement 
I had my grievances
Didn’t quite understand your reasoning 
So for the time being I won’t be seeing daylight 
I’m a creature of habit 
One of the night 
I like it black to dull the sight of my eyes 
Alone on long car rides
I’m searching out everywhere my love hides

From lonely moonlit tides 
To the wide open road (I ride alone)
But I still hear your voice (It haunts shotgun)
I can’t run fast enough 
I can’t push the engine hard enough (The highway hums)
I’m dreading the sun rise that never ceases to come

So it’s me and highway 55 
Let’s dive into song
A lonely hymn of dark desires and misery
Soon we’ll both be history
So scribe my name into cement 
A memory of my life of lament 
I’ll be the lonely dent on your perfect ego

So here I go the on coming lights mean nothing 
Lets make this engine scream 
We’ll see what death means
I’ll be seeing not the olive green of heaven
But instead the reds of hell 
So I’ll sell my soul 
Not much left to it 
I guess I made out this time

So just this way, straight down the yellow brick line
Lets find if I’ll be remembered 
Can they put this dismembered soul back together again
Is it better this way 
I’ll soon be way away 
So my blood runs cold and grey
This must be the beautiful sunrise to come my way
But this to can surely not stay 
Please forget me tomorrow but remember me today
Sorry about the sorrow by the way
