The wind turns cold
the sky grows dark
thinking that I've gone too far
wishing I could turn it all around
I can't find love
in this one horse town
the whole damn world is upside down
everything stays lost until it's found
So I'll pick up the pieces
of the broken dreams I've known
never thought I would end up so alone
and I'll just keep on running
down the long and winding road
and spend my life
a thousand miles from home
An angel's face
a lover's touch
never knew I could love this much
until the day I saw her standing there
her pretty smile
her soft green eyes
they lured me in
they hypnotized
the wind was blowing
through her auburn hair
So I'll pick up the pieces
of the broken heart I've known
never thought she would leave me all alone
so I'll just keep on running
down the long and winding road
and spend my life
a thousand miles from home
Over and over I see her in my dreams
over and over I see her in my dreams
Love they say
is give and take
if you don't bend
you're going to break
but I can't seem to
get her off my mind
her pretty smile
her soft green eyes
they lured me in
they hypnotized
and left me on this highway
running blind
So I'll pick up the pieces
of the broken dreams I've known
never thought I would end up so alone
and I'll just keep on running
down the long and winding road
and spend my life
a thousand miles from home
