I was speeding through the dark I didn't know how far It can all run away with you sometimes in an empty box car You were trying to tell me something I wasn't listening to you There was nothing but confusion Every time that train come blowin' through
Then you wrote me in a letter I don't how your courage came You told me what you wanted Every word in tears and flame How you loved me more than ever In spite of all the hurt inside And it cracked my heart wide open.
