As I was working on this song at the time I rewrote the lyrics about heading home through a storm. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful with Songtradr. All comments welcome. Rob4580 The Desert Drive Going no where on an twisted desert road my eyes are staring at the lightening. Only one head light to illuminate the dark feeling weary and I am tiring. Chase a tumble weed it disappears from site dust is dancing cross the road. I see the full moon from a break with in clouds I beg it take my heavy load. Chorus I do not Know with any certainty why your on my mind I do not Know what the answer is to be but I love you so. Bridge Chorus I do not Know with any certainty why your on my mind I do not Know what the answer is to be but I love you so.

I like the banjo in the background too. I could imagine Chris Rea performing this. Great job.
