I say, God, if You ain't smiling on me, then you ain't no friend of mine It's late at night and this motel room's drunk I been listening to the lonesome wind crying My best friend once said, Jim, what you cling to That's the thing that you had best forget For ain't no rose bed ever gonna bloom in an untended field of regrets Guess, I been busy killing time, counting bullet holes in state line signs I led a life of lonely drifting, trying to rise above the buzzards in my mind You get dizzy chasing 'round the tail of what you need to leave behind Oh, sweet Jesus, won't you help me?
