We caught out on a grainer
That was picking up speed heading West
Threw our bags into the rabbit holes
As we laid our heads to rest

And I saw you there
Yes I saw you there

But every man there's a vacancy
For everything we wickedly implore
Oh Lord keep it far from me
Don't want nothing to do with before

I guessed we were on the Illinois central line
Headed in for Iowa corn
Hadn't been clean in over two months' time
But dry was all that the preacher sold.

And I saw you there
Yes I saw you there

And I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again

Cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in

Oh I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in

I saw you there
Yes I saw you there

I pray to the gods for thunder
But I pray to the clouds for rain
And if the river take me under
Let her bring me back up again

Oh we are only doing the best we can
Oh I am doing the best I can

Oh cause I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
Oh I wasn't where you were tonight
But I could tell you were listening in
