To a town in an endless mountain valleyI road all night so I might come to seeRunning from the truest love that I have ever knownOr maybe just running from mePennsylvania was to be my pot of goldWith forest full of trees and mines of coalI settled right down in a one horse logging townTo work like hell and try to heal my soulFollowing the Schrader river valleyTen years ago they built this townThey layed the train tracks and they never looked backClear cut till every tree was goneWell a man works like hell in this townAnd the devil gets his pay all aroundAnd I still see your face like its branded in my mindAnd I can't see why loving you was wrongOh JonathanIts been so longOh JonathanI can only run for so longJonathanSongtexteTo a town in an endless mountain valleyI road all night so I might flee from youRunning from the truest love that I have ever knownThree Hundred miles from the truthWell Aquin (?) is a desperate placeClear cut and towards its own griefAnd I seem to do the same with your memory in my brainAnd Ohio seems a million miles awaySo I write to you and ask you to forgiveThe fear in me that I just couldn't liftThe targets on our backs and the house of cards they stackedHolding up the bible and the fistAnd my letter finds you safe oh god I prayAnd the post wont lose it somewhere along the wayDeliver in a sack that was carried on the backOf the saint that brings the words that I couldn't singOh JonathanIts been too longOh JonathanI can only run for so longOh JonathanMy letter finds you safe oh god I prayOh JonathanIt wasn't supposed to end this wayNo it wasn't supposed to end this wayNo it wasn't supposed to end this way Aus Songtexte Mania
