[Verse 1]
I was halfway home when I woke up and hit it again
Oh, and I was half way prone to turn around and head back in
Oh, the bottle half way gone when I tip it again
I see my soul at the bottom of the bottle of sin
I'm so alone even before you're gone, oh

[Chorus]
As I walked to the desert where the fire was killin'
My cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels
I never met the devil 'till the morning chills
When I got too drunk off innocence and pills

[Verse 2]
When I woke up alone, I was sick and it was cold
Oh, so I'm walking for miles down the lost and dead end road
Oh, the motel lobby, ain't nobody home, there ain't dial tone
They're on the telephone, I feel stoned
Oh, it's a long ride home, oh

[Chorus]
As I walked to the desert where the fire was killin'
My cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels
I never met the devil 'till the morning chills
When I got too drunk off innocence and pills
Innocence and pills
[Refrain]
I was halfway home when I woke up and hit it again
Oh, and I was half way prone to turn around and head back in
Oh, the bottle half way gone when I tip it again
I see my soul at the bottom of the bottle of sin
I'm so alone even before you're gone, oh

[Chorus]
As I walked to the desert where the fire was killin'
My cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels
I never met the devil 'till the morning chills
When I got too drunk off innocence and pills
As I walked to the desert where the fire was killin'
My cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels
I never met the devil 'till the morning chills
When I got too drunk off innocence and pills

[Outro]
Take me back, oh, oh, oh
Take me back oh, whoa
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home, oh
Oh, take me back home
It's a long ride home
