On The Mend

I just pulled off of of the roadside

After Feeling overwound

These last few hundred miles

Been wearing this old girl out

I was running away from heartache

And it finally tracked me down

As I was Staring at my cowboy boots

In another rust belt town

I strolled on into the dinner

I ordered my coffee black

Afar a local stranger made sure that our eyes met

He asked me where I come from

I'm from everywhere, I said

Just Rambling from town to town

driving to forget

All the wasted days spent pacing in my room

All the sleepless nights while trying to see it through

There's a heart that still needs healing in my chest

I'm on the mend

so I keep it close to the vest

I hopped back onto the highway

started racking up the miles

I never can seem to stay in one place for more than just a little while

I'm armored as a cactus

I'm a rose that has sharp thorns

My heads just bein protective

Cause this heart still needs to mourn

From All the wasted days spent pacing in my room

All the sleepless nights while trying to see it through

There's a heart that still needs healing in my chest

I'm on the mend

so I keep it close to the vest

Oooooo
