On a morning flight out of Birmingham he started talking She'd never even met him, but Lord, she thought that He'd never shut up If she didn't look up
He drove off in his pickup truck To meet his buddies for a few more beers I said baby I'll come pick you up He never called so I waited here Til all
I'd been on the mountain way too long The winds blow fiercer when that sun is gone It got so cold and lonely every night I just prayed for something
I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow 'Bout the places that I'd like to see I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there Ah, but he just stands
