Black Velvet

It's been too long
Asked you what your favorite color is
Wondering what the creases in your photograph look like now

I play the guitar for you
Not a lot of folks can say that's true
I am looking for an exit and all I see is a sign

So let the music
And let that sign
Keep you still

I've been missing the road again
And I love you so much
Caught slipping up the load again
And I need you so bad

I've been missing those faithful friends
On the road, they're the sky
I've been missing the road again my friend and I don't know why

Don't think I'll ever go out there I'm stronger, stronger but old
See the flowers on the carpet, all those flowers have died
In the valley I'm a shooting gun, shooting blanks all my life
Looking up at the guitar on the wall, I feel like my country on the fall

Looking out for the exit in my mind turns out just an exit sign
Go out to the desert with my friend, can't help feeling nothing again
I go to the city and I cry, I go to the country and I don't know why
And I know I can't keep going on this way, gotta let you face your day
