Find You At Last - John Hiatt

We were coming down the old turnpike

Horse hooves pounding, sledgehammer night

You can tell 'em anything you like

I was there with you baby

Silver and diamonds and a skin full of tears

The road narrowed then it disappeared

Maybe you figured you might

Wind up some place like here

Acting like you never cared for me baby

Now you shake me off

Like the dust your boots are wearing

The leather’s soft but I’m cold and fast

Makes me cough

'til I feel my lungs are tearing

I’ll never rest 'til I find you at last

Find you at last

The ground we covered’s cracked and spit with rain

Not enough here to fill the smallest vein

Be all right if this god-forsaken terrain

Just dried up and blew away baby

Maybe my memory’s just not right

But we’ve been baptized by fire and light

Eaten by the earth

Swallowed up by the night

I don’t care where you think

You’re gonna stay baby

Now you shake me off

Like the dust your boots are wearing

The leather’s soft but I’m hard and fast

Makes me cough

'til I feel my lungs are tearing

I’ll never rest 'til I find you at last

Find you at last

Find you at last

Find you at last baby

Find you at last

I’ve been searching for an answer

What a waste of time

Should’ve picked your trail up sooner

But I couldn’t stop the pain

That was breaking up my mind

So I found some open country

I forgot the past

I don’t care if you don’t want me

'cause nothing matters any more baby

'til I find you at last

Tonight you’re sleeing on a cold dirt floor

And in my dreams I’m crashing through your door

But you don’t recognize me anymore

Do you baby

'til I find you at least

Find you at last

Find you at last baby

Find you at last

Find you at last

'til I find you at last

Find you at last
