Weatherbeaten Soul - Reckless Kelly

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 up 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

Within moments notice I could roll

After all I’m probably better off alone

The cold wind blows

Lightning fills the sky and the thunder rolls

And her memory surrounds me, carves me like a stone

Like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul

Well, I was just past Arizona when she called me

The voice, it seemed to change

As if it aged out or get wisdom 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 weatherbeaten soul

Just like waves upon the cliffs along the ocean

Time goes by until the water changes

Rock to beaches made of sand

And they still have to take the beating

Just like mother nature planned

But I just hope that it’snt 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 weatherbeaten soul

Just like raindrops on my weatherbeaten soul
