Valentine's Day - Live at Schottenstein Center, Columbus, OH - 7/31/2005

I'm driving a big lazy car
Rushin' up the highway in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel
And one hand's tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding, baby, like it's gonna bust right on through
And it ain't gonna stop 'til I'm alone again with you

A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke, in his voice, I could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers, the timber wolf in the pines
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my girl, mister, tonight I miss my home

Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight?
Is it the cry of the river with the moonlight shining through?
Well, that ain't what scares me, baby, what scares me is losin' you

They say if you die in your dreams, you die in your bed
But last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms
No, no, baby
Baby, it was you

So hold me close, honey, say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
My lonely valentine
