I left my broken down in Texas
the road has never felt so long
along the way I start to wonder
who will miss me when I'm gone?

if you don't mind waiting
for the news to break
before you turn away
before you turn away
if you don't mind waiting
for the news to break
before you turn away

Some say there's nothing after dying
that all we have is in this world

It was all for you
The long expensive road to nothing new
These unappreciated lines for you
Falling on this tough love crowd, it’s true
I did it all for you
Open arms
There’s nothing better than those ample charms
Somewhere waiting for the world to start
Somehow afflicted by a broken heart
Looking for those open arms

When I was a prince of the world

you were always out of town
i was always on the way
i could barely see the light
but you could blind me just the same
no one ever knew the truth
but you were always on my mind
all i saw was you
i was waiting for a sign
we were lovers then
we were lovers all the time

you could never stay too long
because you always had to work
but i did the best i could

when i get to Charleston baby
i'll find myself a star
when i get to Charleston baby
i'll be waiting for the night to fall
ooh, ooh
when i get to Charleston baby
i'll be waiting for the night to fall

when i get to Charleston baby
i won't know where to stay
i might have time to drink some bourbon
or i might have to run away
ooh
where's that whiskey bar
ooh

It all feels the same
the winds of change
and summer rain
so it goes
the weight I know
this life of hope

Oh in a thousand years
Oh in a thousand years
what will change
what remains
of the summer rain

Time is all we need
to be received
to cross the sea
so we go to sleep
we rest in peace
with all we need

Oh in a thousand years
Oh in a thousand years
what will change
