[Verse 1] Fifteen lines on a highway stretch
Is the amount of time it took to think of you
I've been there before and I'll be there again
I'm like a tethered ball you can never catch
You were my only friend

Time is taut, there is no way to bend
It to way back when I knew you then
To you, all the love I send
From this long mile
From this passenger bed

[Chorus] Oh, lonesome road
Teach me to run
Back into the arms of my darling one

[Verse 2] Fourteen days and a fever dream
Was all it took to wanna see me
The lover's card and some tea leaves
Was all it took to wanna be with me

But if fate is a dart that you throw at a map
Then you can't count on fate, you can count on that
Fate is the devil that made you my past
Fate loves and loses and never looks back

[Chorus] Oh, lonesome bird
Teach me to fly
Back into the arms of my sunshine

[Verse 3] Thirteen hours till I see you
Flyin' all around this world so you can see me too
For once, this head has somewhere to lay
In the arms of my long lost honey babe

[Outro] Time and fate
Oh, time and fate
Lay me in the arms of my honey babe
Lay me in the arms of my honey babe
