Silver Screen

We took a ride down the dirt road In the middle of the night, we were loaded Not without a worry, not without a care Just a bunch of kids in the middle of nowhere I was gonna be on the silver screen Now you got married and your man ain't mean You said 'count your blessings our days aren't long' Now I'm a traveler with a worried song I found my twin in the southern states His voice shook like a Quaker quakes He warned me of whiskey and love as a pair And that I should sing like no one was out there I was gonna be on the silver screen Now you've gone gray but your cancer's clean You counted your blessings cause your days weren't long You are my traveler with a tender song My day was a wreck I'd lost my mind I ran like hell to try to turn back time Somehow I met you by the skin of my hide That was the day when you saved my life I was gonna be on the silver screen You stayed in the city and your lady's keen I'll send out a blessing for the ones who've gone Don't be a traveler with a worried song
