Sweet Irene

I'm heading north on 75
 It's early in the morning
 All I want to do is drive
 I've just left Atlanta
 And I'm headed for home
 Where I need to be
 I got the phone call
 That I never wanted
 Sweet Irene is resting
 In a hospital bed
 Instead of heading south
 I'll just turn right around
 And I'll be home soon.
 And the air's turned cold in Brantford
 And the angels are busy tonight
 There's someone far away who loves you
 And I want to be there by your side
 I wish this van would move a bit faster
 But I'm going as fast as I can
 So close your eyes
 And may your dreams be sweet tonight
 May your dreams be sweet tonight
 I feel a tear running down my cheek
 Remembering the words
 "Why is this happening to me?"
 You're such a strong person
 I know you'll fight through this
 And be okay. Hey
 The air's turned cold in Brantford
 And the angels are busy tonight
 There's someone far away who loves you
 And I want to be there by your side
 I wish this van would move a bit faster
 But I'm going as fast as I can
 So close your eyes
 And may your dreams be sweet tonight
 May your dreams be sweet tonight
 Hey ly ly ly
 Hey ly ly ly
 Hey ly ly ly
 Hey ly dy dy
 The air's turned cold in Brantford
 And the angels are busy tonight
 There's someone far away who loves you
 And I want to be there by your side
 I wish this van would move a bit faster
 But I'm going as fast as I can
 So close your eyes
 Yeah close your eyes
 Just close your eyes
 And may your dreams be sweet tonight
 May your dreams be sweet tonight
 Hey
