Well it's a death trip trying to follow someone else's dream when the world that you know goes splitting at the seams i love my little baby like i love my old machine she left me for a feller that she hardly ever seen
i'm on a death trip baby, i'm on a death trip
well my world tumbled down when the leaves began to fall she took out all her dresses and her picture in the hall i found her car standing running at the shopping mall and the phone never rings and i'm a staring at the wall
well the teacher and the preacher said my world was burning down my daddy said he didn't want to see my face around the police pulled me over on the other side of town said the lawyers and the deacon said i sold it by the pound
well my old man told me that i better pack up all my things and find a place to live if i had a half a brain he left me selling papers standing freezing in the rain and i thank jesus everyday i won't grow up again
well i finally found a woman that could ease my troubled mind i hug her in the morning and i kiss her all the time when i come home from working you can see my baby shine and the boss man tries to keep me working overtime the sun shines down on our faces all the time when her car won't start i can let her drive in mine
