[Verse 1]

Driving through West Virginia

And I’ve seldom been thinner

With that chip on my shoulder

And this past year I got so much older

[Verse 2]

Lookin’ back over my life

Spent the most of it tongue tied

I wish I’d had more time

Listenin’ to you speak your mind

[Chorus]

Now I’m thinkin’ about her everyday

On my mind, atypical way

Are you a life force?

Thinkin’ about her everyday

On my mind, atypical way

Are you a life force?

[Banjo Interlude]

[Verse 3]

Drinkin’ coffee black as iron

And I couldn’t be much higher

Without fallin’ out of my chair

Been so numb for so many years

[Chorus]

Now I’m thinkin’ about her everyday

On my mind, atypical way

Are you a life force?

Thinking about her everyday

On my mind, atypical way

Are you a life force?

[Bridge]

And it's so easy

To be blinded by the light

To feel lonely in the night

This blowing in the breeze babe

I got dust in my eyes

And rust in my mind

I'll be home come next spring

Won't you say you love me later, by and by

[Verse 4]

Looking back over life

Spent the most of it tongue tied

Pullin’ my belt tight

Just me and the stars tonight

[Verse 5]

Two fingers and a tight line

Keep my head above the alpine

Just wish I'd spent more time

Listenin’ to her speak her mind

[Chorus]

Thinking about her everyday

On my mind atypical way

Are you a life force?

Thinking about her everyday

On my mind atypical way

Are you a life force?

Thinking about her everyday

On my mind atypical way

Are you a life force?

Thinking about her everyday

On my mind atypical way

Are you a life force

For me?
