An empty cup of coffee no cigarettes to smoke And a dirty two room walking flat's a long way to my home This life in New York City Just ain't what I thought it'd be Loneliness and desperation are closing in on me Loneliness and desperation are closing in on me How lately get to thinking Bout the things I left back home That healing country sunshine and a woman singing song Then I turned back to the bottle I turned back to the pain And every night I'll kneel and pray I'll see her face again Every night I'll kneel and pray I'll see her face again The sign on the highway says it's30 miles to go Just as well 10, 000 in this freezing rain and snow But that's not gonna stop me I know just where I'm bound And if you ever look for me you'll know where I'll be found If you ever look for me you'll know where I'll be found
