Reckless Kelly - Weatherbeaten Soul Lyrics

She said, "Don't worry, baby" when she left me
You were alright on your own before I came along
And made this happy home

And you can take that damned ol' guitar
Pack it up and hit the road
After all, you're probably better off alone

So I grab that old guitar and hit the highway
It doesn't take too long to pack
When an empty seat holds everything you own

And I've found comfort knowing
With a moment's notice I could roll
After all I'm probably better off alone

The cold wind blows
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Like raindrops on my weather beaten soul

Well, I was just past Arizona when she called me
Her voice, it seemed to change
As if it aged although it wasn't long ago

She said, "Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you could come back home"
Told her, maybe I'm just better off alone

And the cold wind blows
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Like raindrops on my weather beaten soul

Just like waves upon the cliffs along the ocean
Time goes by until the water changes
Rock to beaches made of sand

And this old heart can take a beatin'
Just like mother nature planned
But I just hope it isn't more than I can stand

And the cold wind blows
Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls
Her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone
Like raindrops on my weather beaten soul
Just like raindrops on my weather beaten soul
