There is a place I like to go
Just another storefront on the same dirty road
Nobody recognizes me yet, but they will I know
I light one sad cigarette
I tell a story with a flash of matches and a deep breath
Nobody knows my ending because it hasn't come up yet
I put a song on the jukebox, I pick one easy to forget
I've learned a trick or two about falling asleep
I count the days I've lived instead of sheep
I reach such high numbers I feel there must be some mistake
When my wife hears me she says, "Oh, hold on"
She says, "Oh, for heaven's sake"
But I feel it coming up, I feel it coming up behind me
Those steady hoof beats, that trusty steed come to bear me away
It's too long a journey for me to make on my own two feet
I know it's hard to fathom, but one day I'll be gone
She says "Oh, please don't talk like that"
She says, "Oh, baby just relax"
When she asks if I'm serious I say "Oh, heavens no"
