Lyrics

He got here in the spring
And headed for home in early fall
With 33 summers in between
His taillights had faded
To nothing in the dark
And he drove away
With all his broken dreams

He took a wrong turn to the left
And found an empty muddy road
But he backed out and tried his luck again
Over and over
‘Til he couldn't make it through
But the allure of the darkness pulled him in

Chorus:
He went down the road alone
Looking for a sign,
Something he had to understand
Speeding through his time
Not knowing what was next
And hoping someone would take his hand
He never got to see his thirty-fourth winter
Or another day of sunshine on the farm
Giving in to what beckoned him
In the dark beyond
He let the emptiness enfold him in its arms

(To Chorus)
Speeding through his time
Not knowing what was next
He was hoping someone would take his hand
