i caught her face in horizon clouds soak up the smoke from her last goodbye but i can t feel pain cause there s no one to blame averly was always meant to be free when she left she thought it best to take some company that s when she broke my chains and we took off they never knew we were gone till the dawn cried chorus hey hey averly ain t it bout time to see where you need to be tonight if you ve got the mind to spare send it to the ones who care about you don t waste your breath on running alone just bring it on home sweet averly jane walkin down these ol graveled tracks cause i lost her at the great divide i got my sweat stained sleeve to wipe my brow dry every footprint is caked in rust while my boots are shining rails i fight the rising dust then i feel her face up in the sunrise they never knew we were gone till the dawn cried chorus bridge and if you feel the highway scream beneath your feet just take a look around and remember what you see cause you might find a friend you know burning through the morning cold to help you find your way back home through the misty haze hope to see you down again averly jane i caught the glare of a passerby just a sittin on the side of the street he wore his heart on his sleeve just to watch it bleed he said son you look a lot like myself if i was you i d put my dreams back on the shelf i said when i come home i won t be alone i won t be sittin on the side of the road while the sun cries chorus
