Lost Without You

Thrown in back like a burlap sack and oh lord does my butt hurt

I guess it's been days or weeks or months

Or something worse

Everything looks the same when you're staring at nothin' but dirt

And all I hear are the wheels bucklin'

Large men yelling sounds like poutin'

I really miss a more familiar sound

Mom

Cuz' I am lo-ost without you

It's been a long long time

Every time I look around me

I pray you're at my side

On the trail

Kept a journal of all the spots we passed, just for you Dad

The big blue mountains are actually grey; they look tired and really sad

There's no soda in Soda Springs; the water's way too hot

Fort Hall's just a great big wall and we didn't even stop

Now I am lo-ost without you

Sometimes I barely breathe

If I ever don't think of you

It's because I can't believe

That I am on the trail without you

With miles and miles to go

Send me a sign that you're okay

A telegram or note

From the trail

I wont stop 'til I find you again, even if you're a pile of ash

I'll find an eastbound caravan and crank up its pace to fast

You won't notice I've been gone at all

You'll say "Mouthface where you been?"

I want you to know that

There's not a moment

That goes by without the thought of you

I won't be lo-ost without you

Cuz' you'll be there at my side

You and Dad real close together

With my brother on my right

I won't be lost

Without you

I'll see your shinin' faces

Even if it's through a stone

I'll write somethin' real nice for you

That reminds me of home...

On the trail
