[00:01.76]“The Ballad of Emmerson Lonestar”
[00:19.60]Just a lonestar in the sky, treading the night
[00:28.41]Cutting loose the mess you left, taking flights
[00:37.61]From coast to coast, you move like a ghost, trying to break the past
[00:46.65]So follow the road to wherever it goes and strike up another chance
[00:57.65]Lonestar counting all the people and the passing time
[01:07.15]You are high above the mountain and the columbine
[01:18.66]She bored a hole right through your brain
[01:24.01]At Citrus Heights
[01:27.52]Fallen angel of her you make my first light
[01:36.86]Well ain't it sad when you feel it this bad and your body burns to know
[01:45.99]The shape of her limbs as the night bird sings, all framed in afterglow
[01:56.41]Lonestar counting all the people and the passing time
[02:06.87]You are watching all the wishes dying on the vine
[02:16.95]Lonestar flies above the mountain and the columbine
[02:27.32]How far do I have to wander before the dream is mine?
[02:38.79]Well now you know, there's no way back to your old life
[02:56.53]Like two trains on the same track, you collide
[03:06.02]The roses are red, all the words that you said as she lay by your side
[03:14.99]But all you could think as you stood by the sink was wash me away with the tide
[03:26.33]This time, wanna show I feel.
[03:30.90]This time want a love that's real
[03:35.72]This time gonna know where I stand.
[03:39.58]This time wanna be in command.
