Weatherbeaten Soul

She said don't worry baby when she left me You were alright on your own before I came along and made this happy home And you can take that damned ol guitar, pack it up and hit the road After all youre probably better off alone So I grabbed that ol guitar and hit the highway It doesnt take too long to pack When an empty seat holds everything you own And I found comfort knowing with a moments notice I could roll After all I'm probably better off alone And the cold wind blows Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul I was just past Arizona when she called me Her voice, it seemed to change as if it aged although it wasnt long ago She said lately I've been thinking maybe you could come back home I told her maybe I'm just better off alone And the cold wind blows Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul Just like waves upon the cliffs along the ocean Time goes by until the water changes rock to beaches made of sand And this ol heart can take a beatin just like mother nature planned I just hope it isnt more than I can stand And the cold wind blows Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul Just like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
