Well My Daddy He Stood At The Foot Of The Stairs
He Was Calling To Me At The Time
And I Knew Even Then, I Could Die For The Thoughts
That I Kept In The Back Of My Mind

But I Dared Not To Speak
How I Felt For My Dad
Cause There Were No Words To Define
The Ball Of Confusion, Of Feelings And Stuff
That I Kept In The Back Of My Mind

So I Took To The Highway
And I Kept To Myself
Just A Lookin' And Hopin' To Find
Some Solutions, Some Answers, Someway To Exist
All This Stuff In The Back Of My Mind

So I Took Me A Job
And I Took Me A Wife
And I Took Me A Bottle Of Wine
And It Did Not Take Long, 'til All I Had Left
Was This Junk In The Back Of My Mind

Well The End Of The Tunnel
It Never Came Up
'til I Came To The End Of The Line
And I Saw That The Light I'd Been Hoping To See
Was Just A Spark In The Back Of My Mind

And The Cold Wind That Blew
Through The Hole In My Heart
Made A Fire For The Very First Time
From Some Branches Of Trust
And A Kindling Of Faith
And That Spark In The Back Of My Mind

Drivin' Like Rain, Or A Runaway Train
Flyin' Blind, Shot From The Dark In The Back Of My Mind
