Sweet, Sweet, Melissa

I go through city after city, town after town.

Like water chasing whiskey it still burns to drown her out

I am a Stranger to no one but love is never found

I wish Melissa was around

I hide my pain and I fake a smile

Inside im Knowing all the while

That I'll run back a million miles

For Melissa

Sitting in this old boxcar I stick to myself.

I dont have to say it but others sense I need some help

No one lends an ear so I don't let out a yelp

About Melissa.

My clothes are all tattered and I have no blanket to sleep

You in my dreams are the memories I keep

The gypsy I long for is waiting on me

Poor Melissa

Another lonely morning where im just basking in the sun

Lord, I have to keep my face on but I still know Im on the run

What happened to the days when I had all the fun

With Melissa

Another lonely ride I can't seem to ever leave

Never made it back but now it's getting hard to breath

Will I die and be left inbetween or will my spirit be released

I miss you, Sweet.

I love you, Sweet.

Sweet, sweet, Melissa.
