On a Utah highway on a Greyhound headed west
To San Francisco to a life I left on loan
To a little girl who's never seen my face
Except for pictures her mother has since disowned
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
For five long years I shared a cell with a man
Who bragged each day he killed more than he ever had
Now I never said I was a saint or a decent man
But the darkness there nearly broke me in half
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
Now I hope and I beg forgiveness for my sins
And I pray That my soul won't give in
Demons say they won't do me no harm
But easy promises are like needles in my arm
On a Utah highway on a Greyhound headed west
I see the desert sky through my reflection in the glass
I see the star fall through the scars on my face
And I wonder if I'll ever be strong enough
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
She's in my heart
She's in my head
And when I close my eyes she's sleepin' in her bed
