Lyrics

Well I went to the mountains looking for a home / Running from a lady and feeling all alone / I sat up by the campfire and watched them evening stars / I couldn't shake this feeling that I wouldn't get too far

I never knew what tomorrow would bring / I never brought my self to say / That I never knew if I would see her face again / Alive or dead not knowing either way

So I went to the city running from myself / Running from the fire within that'll burn a man to death / I holed up in a bar there and I drowned myself in rum / And waited for my passing day but the day forgot to come

I never knew what tomorrow would bring / I never brought my self to say / That I never knew if I would see her face again / Alive or dead not knowing either way

So I went to the islands and I sailed into the sun / I tried to wash those tears away with island girls and fun / But all those nights of dancing only seemed to hurt my feet / And bruise me somewhere deep inside until my heart was beat

And I never knew what tomorrow would bring / I never brought my self to say / That I never knew if I would see her face again / Alive or dead not knowing either way

I guess I'll head for home today, I've got nothing left to lose / I ran off all of my island girls and I drank up all of my booze / Perhaps I'll see the mountain reflected in her eyes / And on that day I'll find my peace and I'll lay me down to die / I'll lay me down to die / I'll lay me down to die
