I first came here to apologize
For a wrong I did not do
I fell in love with Route 66
No other place then would do...
I gave away what I wanted not
Brought what I thought I'd need
Usually I can read future signs
This future sign I failed to read...
I was so desparatly in love with her
She was my first since I divorced my wife
My mind was in a blinding blur
Her betrayal sliced my heart like dull knife...
This knife was dull rusty and jagged
My heart was in ribbons and ragged
Then she pulled it out tossed on ground
No longer was there a heartbeats sound...
Gone is the life I yearn
My cancer has made a come back
To the East I shall now return
My desire to care I painfully lack...
Back East I'll live in a tent under a bridge
A sheltered place just over the ridge
Living on partially cooked rice and beans
Surviving by what ever necessary means...
Well you now know why I moved to ABQ
The reasons to the why's are true
Now when I move back to Hftd Ct
I'll be introduced to the end of me...
