Song Lyrics

Driving through West Virginia
And I've seldom been thinner
With that chip on my shoulder
And this past year I got so much older

Lookin' back over my life
Spent the most of it tongue tied
I wish I'd had more time
Listenin' to you speak your mind

Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday
On my mind, atypical way
Are you a life force?
Thinkin' about her everyday
On my mind, atypical way
Are you a life force?

Drinkin' coffee black as iron
And I couldn't be much higher
Without fallin' out of my chair
I've been so numb for so many years

Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday
On my mind, atypical way
Are you a life force?
Thinking about her everyday
On my mind, atypical way
Are you a life force?

And it's so easy
To be blinded by the light
To feel lonely in the night
This blowing in the breeze babe
I got dust in my eyes
And rust in my mind
I'll be home come next spring
Won't you say you love me later, by and by

Looking back over life
Spent the most of it tongue tied
Pullin' my belt tight
It's just me and the stars tonight

Two fingers and a tight line
Keep my head above the alpine
Just wish I'd spent more time
Listenin' to her speak her mind

Thinking about her everyday
On my mind atypical way
Are you a life force?
Thinking about her everyday
On my mind atypical way
Are you a life force?
Thinking about her everyday
On my mind atypical way
Are you a life force?
Thinking about her everyday
On my mind atypical way
Are you a life force
For me?
