Blacktop

Got my keys, head out the door
Could not take it anymore
All the fussin', cryin' and moanin'
Leaving misery, this ain't no home

Window pane on the road
Heading south, carrying a load
Diggin' memphis, diggin' blues
Sometimes a man just got to choose

Blacktop rolls on southward
Snow-white cotton in the fields
Sometimes daylight comes too late
Sometimes it's hard to deal

I passed a truckstop, I passed a church
I pulled over, soul needed work
Facing problems inside of me
Only truth can set you free

Blacktop rolls on southward
Snow-white cotton in the fields
Sometimes daylight comes too late
Sometimes it's hard to deal

I turned around and I asked for help
Took directions off the shelf
In a Book I thought I'd learned
Sometimes wisdom follows getting burned

Blacktop rolls on southward
Snow-white cotton in the fields
Sometimes man got to get on his knees
Before he'll ever heal

Blacktop rolls on southward
Snow-white cotton in the fields
Sometimes man got to get on his knees
Before he knows what's real
