I Lost You

I left my camera in a motel room in AbilenE And my journal in a cab in ABQ I must've lost my mind one or two times But somewhere down the line I lost you And I lost a bet in the Sky Ute Casino In Denver must've lost a week or two I've played it a hundred times and it's hard to define I guess crossin' some state line I lost you I lost you To time and change To life in this cage on the interstate And it's true It's been a year long bender Trading jabs with the calendar And hatin' days Just for being days that take me away from the day I lost you Now take away my gold and take my novelty Take everything I have that looks brand new It's a mighty thin line between what distracting and divine And somewhere in all the shine I switched the two And now most days on the road you jog my memory About everything I promised you I'd do Every time I close my eyes I see U-turn signs But I keep that steady line away from you Yeah I keep that steady line you told me to And I lost you To spite and rage To the things that I won't change that accumulate And it's true It's been a two year bender Trading jabs with the calendar, and hatin' days Just for being days Yeah hatin' days just for being days That take me away from the day I lost you Take me away from the day I lost you
