Love Lost At A Truck Stop In Texas

Met this gal and took her home with me Yeah, she told me her whole life story She took off in the night while I was still sleeping She was states away by the next morning She took my wallet and a ring my mama left me I guess it got her where she was going She found her fix in the darkest shadows in a bathroom in El Paso They found her body early Christmas Day I remember it was snowing I remember it was snowing And they said"Jane Doe" You could have had it better But the path you chose didn't brace you for stormy weather You were drowning slow Luckily our bodies bodies were made to float But you just kept poking holes in your skin And yet you still wonder just what made you sink I got a call from an angry sheriff He said he had a mess of questions Who's this"Jane" and why's she holding my belongings I just hung up and left him guessing And the papers read"Jane Doe" I'll never truly know your love But the path we chose or was it chosen for us By the powers that are higher than You could ever dream to be You held the weight of the world in your heart and hands We held our breaths and looked away as you sank I remember it was snowing I remember it was snowing I remember it was snowing I remember it was snowing that Christmas Day
