Shoulder to Cry On

We used to travel down the backroads
Where muddy waters meet the edge
And all the fears we buried out there somewhere
Lord, I'll never dredge that riverbed
I used to look across the swamplands
And wonder where it ends

My momma was always running
Running from the back of his hand
I used to pray to God please wake me up
From this nightmare that I'm in
We were running down the backroads
Hiding in the swamplands
Looking for the road to bend
We were running down the backroads
Hiding in the swamplands
Looking for a bend

I need a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road
Give me a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road

I remember one dark rainy night
We were begging quarters for the toll
I remember momma said don't cry
Never let the bruises show no no no no
We pulled under the gaslight
Pretended we were alright
But we had nowhere to go
We had to get across the stateline
Leave the devil behind
Nowhere to go

I need a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road
Give me a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road

Mama, come on keep on running
Mama, come on keep on running

I need a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road
Give me a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end of the road
I need a shoulder to cry on
I need a shoulder to cry on
I need a shoulder to cry on
I'm at the end I'm at the end of the road yeah
