If I could have one wish right now,
I'd be about half as tough as I pretend I am.
I wouldn't care how empty this old house feels,
I could take her things and take them far away from here.
I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name,
looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain.
I could go into town wearing my finest clothes.
I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold.
Space City is one hour up the road from me.
It's one hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be.
Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone.
Somewhere she's wondering what's taking me so long.
My hands are as good to me as they've ever been.
I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did.
Sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist.
She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I guess.
Space City is one hour up the road from me.
It's one hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be.
Somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone.
Somewhere she's wondering what's taking me so long.
