Lost Without You

Thrown in back like a burlap sack and oh lord does my butt hurt
I guess it's been days or weeks or months
Or something worse
Everything looks the same when you're staring at nothin' but dirt
And all I hear are the wheels bucklin'
Large men yelling sounds like poutin'
I really miss a more familiar sound
Mom
Cuz' I am lo-ost without you
It's been a long long time
Every time I look around me
I pray you're at my side
On the trail
Kept a journal of all the spots we passed, just for you Dad
The big blue mountains are actually grey; they look tired and really sad
There's no soda in Soda Springs; the water's way too hot
Fort Hall's just a great big wall and we didn't even stop
Now I am lo-ost without you
Sometimes I barely breathe
If I ever don't think of you
It's because I can't believe
That I am on the trail without you
With miles and miles to go
Send me a sign that you're okay
A telegram or note
From the trail
I wont stop 'til I find you again, even if you're a pile of ash
I'll find an eastbound caravan and crank up its pace to fast
You won't notice I've been gone at all
You'll say "Mouthface where you been?"
I want you to know that
There's not a moment
That goes by without the thought of you
I won't be lo-ost without you
Cuz' you'll be there at my side
You and Dad real close together
With my brother on my right
I won't be lost
Without you
I'll see your shinin' faces
Even if it's through a stone
I'll write somethin' real nice for you
That reminds me of home...
On the trail
