I said I'm sorry I say I'm sorry Why don't you write me Call me on the phone Send Western Union You can find me home You know I bled you Led you on a lie You say I fooled you

Hitchin' a ride (don't know where to go) One, two, three, four There's a drought at the fountain of youth My tongue is swelling up Troubled times You know I cannot lie I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a

Bleed for me, I've bled for you Embrace me, child, I'll see you through I'll see you Realms of fear, they speak the truth What has past, I hand to you This grave of life, I give to you Ignore what was, you know it's true I'll dig a hole, and bow my head
