Black River Blues

Black river blues,
 My cheatin' heart's been torn in two.
 I'd love to stay with you awhile,
 But I've got to burn one thousand black river miles,
 Before I sleep, before I rest.
 'Cause I've got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest,
 And it's something you know I gotta do,
 Before I lay me down to sleep here beside you.
 When I get home...
 When I get home...
 When I get home...
 There's a two-lane highway in my mind.
 My heart's divided by white lines.
 So what am I supposed to do,
 When the lane I love is the lane takes me further from you?
 And that black river's callin' my name,
 And if I don't go I know I'll go insane.
 And I'll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes,
 And then I'll lay me down to sleep here beside you
 When I get home...
 When I get home...
 When I get home...
