lifeblood: songs: lyrics: all the way to wheeling

crying all the way to wheeling
i left out in a hurry
cause i know i ain't good company
ramblin' on about
all the ways she hurt me

and it's this emptiness inside
i know everybody's got
but i mistook mine for a bride
and i adored it

i jammed up every love i know
i shut down every sign of hope
yeah i took them out a toll
so could i keep rolling
all the way
to wheeling

i know i said i'd be the last one
to find a gentle man
and settle and get married
but i've been thinking that's the one thing
i ain't never tried
and i ain't trying to be contrary

cause it's this emptiness inside
that i keep giving all i got
brother you knew all this time
where i'd been going

i just need to catch my breath
maybe one more day of rest
brother i can't be my best
and you know it

crying all the way
all the way
to wheeling

in the morning i'm regretting
every word that i told you
but by nightfall i'll be calling
telling you that same old story

crying all the way
crying all the way
crying all the way
crying all the way
to wheeling

crying all the way
to wheeling
crying all the way
to wheeling
crying all the way
to wheeling
