Save me I’ve been so lonely
You were the only one in my mind
An’ lately I’ve just been drinking
Smoking and thinking a million reason why
Cause out across my street I don’t see no one
No faith to go on, and the devil’s in my dreams
But flying through the night I can still feel you
It did not feel true when you said goodbye
An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me
The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud
I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart
I’m dead under these deep stars
And you come to lift me up
And I’ve been face down, just like a dead man
Drinking that red sand, like sweet country wine
And down, down, down, I’ve been sinking
I’ve been thinking about losing my mind
Cause out across my street I don’t see no one
No faith to go on, no sun in my sky
So, take me my prairie angel
An’ bring me all the way back to my home
An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me
The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud
I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart
I’m dead under these deep stars
And you come to lift me up
An’ take me to The Des Plaines river and drown me
The dirty water all around me, a prisoner in the mud
I’m sailing to you my highway sweetheart
I’m dead under these deep stars
And you come to lift me up
