Long Cold Winter

Me and billy boy and old lady jane
We hitched a ride, took a fast movin' train
Got to the top with our heads spinnin' round
You never know just what you got until you're comin' back
Down on the farmland mississippi shade
The folks down there they told me take it day by day

And walk the last mile
Before i sleep
It'll be a while
Before i get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

I got a long way to go before i reach the light of day
Monkies on my back i gotta find a better way
Same old story never get just what you want
The more you got the more you want
Sometimes you do and then you don't
I guess i've always been a travelin' man
Cause when i'm movin' i can make a stand

And walk the last mile
Before i sleep
It'll be a while
Before i get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

Don't know where i'm going
But i know where i've been
Look around me everybody's trying to win

I guess i've always been a travelin' man
Cause when i'm movin' i can make a stand yea yea

And walk the last mile
Before i sleep
It'll be a while
Before i get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

The last mile
Before i sleep
It'll be a while
Before i get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

The last mile
Before i sleep
It'll be a while
Before i get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears

I used to be now i'm not what you see, lord i try
And now it seems all those dreams have come true, but they're passing me by
Some fast talkin' mama for a dollar put a smile on my face
I'm drivin' all night
I end up in the same old place

My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright

And who's to care if i grow my hair to the sky
I'll take a wish and a prayer cross my fingers cause i always get by
Some fast talkin' jerk for a dollar wiped the smile off my face
I'm drivin' all night
Just to keep the rat in the race

My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright

Sometimes i feel so old
Got my lights burnin' bright
But i'm lookin' pretty sold
Sometimes i feel so cold
So cold
Let's go

Got to get on home
My gypsy road can't take me home
My gypsy road can't take me home, t-t-take me

My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright

My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on p-p-pushin'
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road

I've been down
I've been cryin' in the dead of night
I've been tryin', i've been tryin'
To find the time to make it right
It's gonna be a long cold winter
Long cold winter without your love

I've been walkin'
I've been freezin'
Freezin' from a love i left behind
I've been searchin', i've been searchin'
Can't find my peace of mind
It's gonna be a long cold winter
Long cold winter without your love

I've been down ooo, i've been down yea
Baby baby baby ooo i'm freezin'
I'm freezin', i'm freezin', i'm cold
So so so cold
It's gonna be a long cold winter
Long cold winter without your love yea

I can't tell ya baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is i did so wrong
Now i know what i got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love it falls like rain
Ain't the same
I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul i just can't take another day
Who's to blame
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time let me know
If you really wanna go

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is i did so wrong
Now i know what i got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately
I've been lookin' for the words to say

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is i did so wrong
Now i know what i got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

Don't know what you got till it's gone no
Don't know what it is i did so wrong
Now i know what i got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long

Bad seamstress blues
Alright
Lookin' on back when i was young
I tried to sing it, but my song had been sung
And now i ain't got no worries
Ain't got no one to call my own
I said but when i got just a little bit older
All i got had come undone
Let's go boys

Fallin' apart at the seams
Ah yea
Old man looks much younger now
He lost his strength respect somehow
Look in the mirror at what i found
It's just the past and it's over now
Ooo it's over now
Ooo it's over now

My heart's like a wheel
And my head's just a stone
I got my memories
Ain't got no home

I'm fallin'
Ooo fallin' apart at the seams
Fallin'
Ooo yea fallin' apart at the seams

Old friends seem much closer now
They stand the test of time somehow
Look at the winner who hit the ground
It comes around and then it goes back down

Ooo it's over now
Ooo it's over now
My heart's like a wheel
And my head's just a stone
I got no memories
Ain't got no home

I'm fallin'
Ooo fallin' apart at the seams
Fallin'
Ooo yea fallin' apart at the seams

My heart's like a wheel
And my head's just a stone
I got my memories
Ain't got no home

I'm fallin'
Ooo fallin' apart at the seams
Fallin'
Ooo yea fallin' apart at the seams
Fallin'
I'm fallin' fallin'
Fallin' apart at the seams
Fallin'
Ooo yea ooo yea
Whoa yea
