Last night as I lay in my bed-
I felt so all alone...
Relations with my family...
Have chilled me to the bone.

I never dreamed that homelife,
Would ever be this cold-
It doesn't help a thing at all-
The fact I'm growing old.

My mind went back to Abilene,
Seguin, and San Antone...
When I was young and carefree,
But, alas, those days are gone.

I wonder why I hang around-
With things the way they are?
I'd like to pack my suitcase,
And throw it in the car...

And head her West, and not look back-
At what I left behind-
But long forgotten words and vows,
Weigh heavy on my mind.

very sad-- but well spoken--

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.
