She's Never Coming Home

On a two lane Nevada back road The morning painting up the dawn She met up with Eternity And he bribed her gypsy soul She wouldn't leave a road untraveled Couldn't leave a dream unturned Risk was just tuition for a lesson to be learned With youth as her insurance A tender heart as her passport Sights unseen her religion Lives she touched it's reward. She's never comin home. Fate demanded payment before showing her the route So she paid the toll her most precious gift Her life that hadn't bared it's fruit. Death handed her a road map He pointed toward the stars. The breeze rustled her angel wings And she thanked him with a smile His face twisted in confusion He thought he made a righteous deal It was her that reaped the profit Nirvana now revealed She laughed at death I got a bargin because nothing ever ends There's only new beginnings And a chance to make new friends She's never coming home. She whispered papi don't you worry Sweet mama please don't grieve There is just someplace else somewhere That I need to be She embraced her pirate spirit And turned her sails into the wind Then set off on a journey Another place she's never been Highway ninety five Nevada milepost thirteen At sunrise if you listen close You can hear her sing Live your dreams You've got to live your dreams. She's never coming home.
