I've been shattered and

broken, for most of my life

But I've done pretty good,

with a job and a wife

Got a family that loves me,

and a good piece of land

That I bought with hard work,

that I earned with these hands

But these things that I do

I did them for you

So just tell me you love

me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this

house, while I go away

And just promise to be

here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left

off, all those years ago

Before my demons they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

'Cause I've been careless and

selfish, got no self respect

I'm an albatross hanging

around my own neck

I'm a hard one to handle,

and I've played the fool

And I'm so hard to love,

'cause I break all the rules

But these things that I do

'Cause I couldn't have you

So just tell me you love

me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this

house, while I go away

And just promise to be

here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left

off, all those years ago

Before my demons they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

So just tell me you love

me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this

house, while I go away

And just promise to be

here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left

off, all those years ago

Before my demons they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

Lost and lonely, out here on the road
