Speed of the Sound of Loneliness, Alabama 3 (A3)
Everybody gotta run sometime
Come home late, come home early
Come home big when I'm feelin' small
Come home straight, come home fucked-up
Sometimes I don't come home at all
CHORUS
What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run
You've a heart that burns with a fever
You've got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Leave me so damn far behind?
Tell me now
CHORUS
It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
Heartbreakin's what it isIt's crossed that evil line today
Let's cross it together, hand-in-handI can't think about tomorrow
Well now, who can?I ain't got one word to say
Now sing along
CHORUS
(Variation from John Prine's Lyrics)
