in four more hours she'll be gone cancer erodes the body I've taken enough today you can sit at your desk and never see the family as it sinks into my chest remind me why I became a nurse I quit I resign I haven't got the heart to look that family in the eye and go on break and pretend I'm not a little dead inside
2.
I quit my job as a nurse I needed to find hope in man down on the road I saw a man with a raised hand I said "hey, where will you go?" -please take me down the road. I haven't got money to pay, but I'll gladly tell you my story. back in 43, I left my life in the city and roamed from town to town until I met a real live clown who showed me how to get around. making money playing rubes. don't think they lost/then they don't lose I thought myself apart from growing up on the road. I met a girl a named Jane who lived up in Colville town. maybe I could settle down. maybe turn my life around. if I think I won, I didn't lose... hey pal, this is my stop thank you
3.
Bob went down that roads went to the north. I ended up in the middle of Washington. Dolly on the tube, I'm always jealous of her jumpsuit. singing "I will always love you" then I heard a boom come from out the east the sirens are a blaring emergency broadcast on the tv feel my blood rate up, the tension getting high outside its raining ash I need to call my wife the telephone is dead panic setting in someone asks for a nurse I put my head down and order a drink
4.
try as I may I never can leave or a mountain blows up and loses its top I can run from Couer D'Alene, Idaho but people keep dying where ever I run. and I run Bob was right that "If you can't find it, its just the same as if you don't have it". Like I'm stuck in that Bill Murray movie where nothing seems to change, its the same everyday I'd just like the opposite once where everything's different where I can get away and no one gets hurt it'd be such a blessing to not have a curse for once...
5.
To tell it like it was Mom you really messed me up you drove them all away, except the Tanqueray I think you number's up in the biggest little city you'd always go too far, so swim back to the ocean and they would lock you away, I'd be a ward of the state I made a promise to help and now I hate it get in the car no more bob, no more volcano I'll head east where no one knows me
6.
stay awake eyes on the road counting lines where did the time go i90 drive and it all looks the same 43 miles until I pull over and then I heard a crack and started to smell smoke the engine light on, I pull over to the side of the road I started to smell smoke and flame Molly is on fire on the interstate Molly is on fire in the middle of the night
7.
it seems like it was just a dream when I woke up in a cheap motel if it isn't this, its something else and Molly's burnt to hell it's hard to make a bad comeback when I'm stranded here in Billings town it's hard to think I've ever won when I always seem to lose now I stare at a pizza ad on the back of a phonebook I start to question my own life then the phone would ring it was my best friend in Spokane he said "I heard what happened to you, I think that I could help you to get back on your feet and start to live again" and then I'd just start running away from everything I'm out here languishing I'm so bound here without a sound I'm languishing then it came to me I knew just what to do I picked up the phone it rings once it rings twice
8.
I think that we should talk you at least owe me that I know it's been a while... could you please help me dad? I know you said that... not to call would you please help me out? I've been running hard it's time to come home I swear I'm not like mom. we've been putting this off too long
9.
I get off the plane I received a page I'm sorry my boy but I can't do this I hope you can find a way to move on I know you've had it hard I know I couldn't stay nothing I could do nothing I could say to make up for the past please take this envelope with a little cash and move on
10.
this time it's the end I've been running hard I close my eyes and pull out my blade I lift it up and start to pray then I hear a voice call out to me don't you remember me? you drove me down this road where you headed boy? Bob, please let me go I've been running like I don't know You see I've lost everything this time it's the end he said this time, it's not the end so you lost it all... that means you're free this time it's not the end
