Back Of My Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs
He was calling to me at the time
And i knew even then
I could die for the thoughts
That i kept in the back of my mind
But i dared not to speak
How i felt for my dad
'cause there were no words to define
This ball of confusion
Of feelings and stuff
That i kept in the back of my mind
So i took to the highway
And i kept to myself
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find
Some solutions, some answers
Some way to exist
All this stuff in the back of my mind
So i took me a job
And i took me a man
And i took me a bottle of wine
But it did not take long
'til all i had left
Was this junk in the back of my mind
Drivin' like rain, on a runaway train
Flyin' blind
Shot from the dark
In the back of my mind
Well the end of the tunnel
It never came up
'til i came to the end of the line
And i saw that the light
I'd been hoping to see
Was a spark in the back of my mind
And the cold wind that blew
Through the hole in my heart
Made a fire for the very first time
Of some branches of trust
And a kindling of faith
And that spark in the back of my mind
Drivin' like rain, on a runaway train
Flyin' blind
Shot from the dark
In the back of my mind
Shot from the dark
In the back of my mind
