Song Lyrics

I was speedin' through the dark
I didn't know how far
It can all run away with you sometimes
In an empty box car

You were trying to tell me something
I wasn't listening to you
There was nothin' but confusion
Everytime that train come blowin' through

Then you wrote me in a letter
I don't know how your courage came
You told me what you wanted
Every word in tears and pain
How you loved me more than ever
In spite of all the hurt inside
And it cracked my heart wide open
Till there was no place left to hide

[Chorus]
And I want to thank you babe
For lettin' me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
I want to thank you baby
For lettin' me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again

I've forgotten how to be patient
I've forgotten how to caress
I've forgotten how to ask for help
And how to struggle for my best

I was harder than those iron wheels
Rollin' down the track
And every trip I took
I never looked to get any feelings back

[Chorus]

When you met me at the station
With a promise and a kiss
You said my love for you will always be true
But you must remember this
Respect me and protect me
But don't expect me not to fall
And I will do the same for you
Until the final call

[Chorus]

Thank you baby for lettin' me back in
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
