left turn on a red light

Lyrics

it's nine o'clock at this old station, and my silver linin' ride is right on time, and as i buy myself a one-way ticket, for somewhere else on down the line, and i see that on their faces, of a people that will never come home, and when i stare into the mirror, mama, see myself all alone, and did you ever stop to wonder, about the times that she laid by your side, when you know that i was right, and you finally realize, you took a left turn on a red light, sun shines down on the desert, and it seems to make my life a haze, and i dream of my childhood sweetheart, and the freedom that i had in those days, when i wake from all my dreamin', will this boxcar always be my lonely home, yeah, well i don't know where i am, and i really don't give a damn, this crazy life of mine will soon be gone, and did you ever stop to wonder, about the times that she laid by your side, when you know that i was right, and you finally realize, you took a left turn on a red light, well it's nine o'clock at this old station, once again my ride is right on time, and as i buy myself another ticket, lord, for somewhere else on down the line, well i'll always be a rambler, well the ones i love always keep tellin' me, you stare too long in the mirror, son, someday you'll be too blind to see, and now i can stop my wonderin', about the times that she laid by my side, now i know that i was right, and i finally realize, i took a left turn on a red light
