Lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older [Verse 2] Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind [Chorus] Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind, atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind, atypical way Are you a life force? [Banjo Interlude] [Verse 3] Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair Been so numb for so many years [Chorus] Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind, atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind, atypical way Are you a life force? [Bridge] And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night This blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later, by and by [Verse 4] Looking back over life Spent the most of it tongue tied Pullin' my belt tight Just me and the stars tonight [Verse 5] Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I'd spent more time Listenin' to her speak her mind [Chorus] Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force For me?
