Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Vigil lyrics

rate me

Jenny ran along beside me

With a handful of roses

And a red petal caught in her hair

She said some never know

When their last friend is gone

You look out and there's nobody there

30 days I've been driving

Never once going home

Sleeping rough in the back of my car

And the nights when I was drinking

I would sit by the phone

And lose all my courage at the bar

CHORUS

On the darkest highway

On the hardest road

On the weary vigil

We keep alone

So if I turn the whole thing over

One more time in my head

Will that memory fade over time

Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man

And her eyes looking straight into my mine

CHORUS
