Destiny's Door

one more day with an empty window,
light and shadow on the wall
i cant sleep with an empty bed,
when i got no one to call
its been six weeks since you left,
crossed the line and i took the fall
i got no one to blame
got no one to understand me at all




if you had a million dollars
i wouldnt want a penny for my thoughts
no one to share my fears or
the battles that i fought
id rather take a railroad ride
just some place round the bend
but instead i'll keep on going
to the last stop at the very end

the conductor punched my ticket
with his eyes looking straight at mine
i didnt want to go to my destination,
i just want to go down the line
he said theres no stops after this one,
theres nothing more to say
i'll let you stay on board,
but theres no coming back this way

the tracks are gone the cars are empty
the destination is nevermore,
if you keep on going down this track .
you'll be knocking on destiny's door

theres a place i call virginia,
cause thats where i want to be
where i first fell in love and
she fell in love with me
i havent seen those green green hills
and rivers rolling past the shore
i feel like im a million years past
from where i was before

how did i get so lost in heaven,
and end up in this place
where an angry word is a loaded gun
and it blew up in my face
i took the bullet i had meant for her.
it was all my stupid fault
now shes gone and im alone
my heart feels like its stopped

the tracks are gone the cars are empty
the destination is nevermore,
if you keep on going down this track .
you'll be knocking on destiny's door

got a ticket for the last ride
down past the end of my rope
its not a place for cowards
its not a place for hope
i put my mouth right on the line,
all in, i bet my load
and it ended up taking me down
to this lonesome road

i got no ticket for happiness
no ride to the promised land
theres not a thing i can do
that anyone could understand
i'm walking to a station
where i can catch a train
where theres lots of empty box cars
i can fill with my world of  pain

i'm jumping the tracks
and i wont be back
from the end of the line again.
i'm telling the conductor
not to stop the train
its time to ride until the end

the tracks are gone the cars are empty
the destination is nevermore,
if you keep on going down this track .
you'll be knocking on destiny's door
