Lonely as I sit
Broke down off the highway
Cars they sweep beside me
On damp asphalt
And I'm not sure where to go
I sit with the radio on and light a smoke
'Cause helplessness overwhelms us
It's out of my hands
I'm enclosed in a tin can
That ran bone dry
Well, I suppose today ain't my day
Between the sheets I should have stayed
Back in Alabama
Oh, how the winter chill greets
The warmth beneath
My rain coat
'Cause helplessness overwhelms us
It's out of my hands
I'm enclosed in a tin can
That ran bone dry
