Lyrics:

I left my camera in a motel room in Abilene, 
and my journal in a cab in ABQ, 
I must've lost my mind one or two times, 
but somewhere down the line I lost you.
And I lost a bet in the Sky Ute Casino, 
in Denver must've lost a week or two. 
I've played it a hundred times and it's hard to define, 
I guess crossin some state line I lost you.
I lost you, 
to time and change. 
To life in this cage on the interstate.
 And it's true, it's been a year long bender, 
trading jabs with the calendar, 
and hatin days, just for being days 
that take me away from the day I lost you.
Now take away my gold and take my novelty, 
take everything I have that looks brand new.
 It's a mighty thin line between what distracting and divine,
 and somewhere in all the shine I switched the two.
Most days on the road you jog my memory, 
about everything I promised you I'd do. 
Every time I close my eyes I see U-turn signs, 
but I keep that steady line away from you. 
Yeah I keep that steady line you told me to.
And I lost you, to spite and rage. 
To the things that I won't change that accumulate. 
And it's true, it's been a two year bender, 
trading jabs with the calendar, and hatin days, just for being days, 
yeah hatin days just for being days, 
that take me away from the day I lost you. 
Take me away from the day I lost you.

I Lost You
