Jeff Dillon - Tucson Skies Lyrics

This road is long and weary I travel farther than I could
I lost my soul to gambling just like you said I would
I came to town this evening to hope I'd find you there
But you had left already without a single care
It's funny that everything's different
When everything's still the same
I sat down and wrote you a letter to tell you of all that I'd done
To make you proud of me proud to call me your son
I'm sorry that I couldn't be there when you needed me more than I knew
The world seemed so ripe for the taking now I should have listened to you
It's funny that everything's different
When everything's still the same
I left your house at midnight I left for where you would go
The sky opened up before me as I wandered the desert below
I knew you would head south at least I hoped that you would
I wish I could find the strength to face you I wish that you knew that I could
It's funny that everything's different
When everything's still the same
I finally found you in Tucson how many years had gone by
So ready to tell you I'm sorry but all I could do was cry
When I sat down there beside you I fell into disbelief
You died two years ago come Monday and I'll never know that relief
It's funny that everything's different
When everything's still the same
