lyrics

On the border of Kentucky and Ohio
I can’t recall the day, the month, or where I am tomorrow
I left my heart 3000 miles from this hotel room
Unwrap the plastic cup, sipping jack I wait for my sorrow

Every night I think of how much I still I love you
But I don’t call to tell you this
I leave the room and walk the hallway towards temptation
Turning my back on sustenance for the candy of survival

Send me home send far away from this drug
It’s sweet on my tongue
It dampens my soul
Send me home
I don’t want to taste this no more

When I left our home she said "baby don't you worry
you'll be back before you ever knew you left"
But on the road she's not here to keep me steady
I move in different patterns and I put my heart to rest

Send me home, send me far away from this drug
It’s sweet on my tongue
It dampens my soul
Send me home
I don’t want to taste this no more
