find you at last
Singer:john hiatt
we were coming down the old turnpike
you can tell 'em anything you like
i was there with you baby
silver and diamonds and a skin full of tears
the road narrowed then it disappeared
maybe you figured you might
wind up some place like here
acting like you never cared for me baby
like the dust your boots are wearing
the leather's soft but i'm cold and fast
'til i feel my lungs are tearing
i'll never rest 'til i find you at last
the ground we covered's cracked and spit with rain
not enough here to fill the smallest vein
be all right if this god-forsaken terrain
just dried up and blew away baby
maybe my memory's just not right
but we've been baptized by fire and light
swallowed up by the night
i don't care where you think
like the dust your boots are wearing
the leather's soft but i'm hard and fast
'til i feel my lungs are tearing
i'll never rest 'til i find you at last
i've been searching for an answer
should've picked your trail up sooner
but i couldn't stop the pain
that was breaking up my mind
so i found some open country
i don't care if you don't want me
'cause nothing matters any more baby
tonight you're sleeping on a cold dirt floor
and in my dreams i'm crashing through your door
but you don't recognize me anymore
