Tishomingo (Live From Little Rock)

Seriously, thank you guys so much for being here
Hey, so, uh, me and all the guys we grew up about three and half hours from here
In a little town in Oklahoma, and, um
I left there when I was 17 years old, and this is a song I wrote about going, about going home
It's called "Tishomingo", hope you guys don't hate it

Well, I don't think that the city moves slow enough for me
So I'm gonna leave now and I ain't showin' no warnings
And I know that mama said her love will always lead me home
But I've been followin' this lonely road for way too long

So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark, cold road
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
Prayin' I can get myself back home

Now I'm breakin' horses out in Tishomingo
And every night I lie there and wonder where a good man's dreams go
And most nights I wonder how far train cars can travel
Or how far a man can go before one's truly unraveled

So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark, cold road
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
Prayin' I can get myself back home

Don't jump in so quick, kid, you're gonna wind up hurt
She's with a new man in Arkansas, the last time I heard
But I know that mama said her love will always lead us home
And I've been followin' this lonely road for way too long

So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark, cold road
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
Prayin' I can get myself back home

So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark, cold road
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
Prayin' I can get myself back home
