Lost Without You

Thrown in back like a burlap sack

And lord does my butt hurt

I guess it's been days or week or months

Or something worse

Everything looks the same

When you're starin at nothing but dirt

And all I hear are the wheels bucklin

Large men yelling, sounds like pouting

I really miss a more familiar sound, mom

Cause I am lost without you

It's been a long, long time

Every time I look around me

I pray you're at my side

On the trail

Kept a journal of all the spots we passed

Just for you dad

The big blue mountains are actually grey

They look tired and really sad

There's no soda in soda springs

The water's way too hot

Fort hall's just a great big wall

And we didn't even stop

Now I am lost without you

Sometimes I barely breathe

If I ever don't think of you

It's because I can't believe

That I am on the trail without you

With miles and miles to go

Send me a sign that you're okay

A telegram or note

From the trail

I won't stop till I find you again

Even if you're a pile of ash

I'll find an east-bound caravan

And crank up its pace to fast

You won't notice I've been gone at all

You'll say "mouthface, where you been?"

I want you to know that there's not a moment

That goes by without the thought of you

I won't be lost without you

Cause you'll be there at my side

You and dad'll be close together

With my brother on my right

I won't be lost... Without you...

I'll see your shining faces

Even if it's through a stone

I'll write something real nice for you

That reminds me of home

On the trail
