There's a secret mule that I'm riding on a comeback road
We don't need no fuel from a station and they don't need to know
Where I've been is gone far behind had to lessen the load
Where I'm going teaches the lessons of the comeback road
And it could take me sometime to find myself and my way around
But only cost me a dime to call you up and tell you all I've found
All my bad dreams tried to tell me but when I awoke I was blind
Slipping down I hear the falling water running out of time
I was weak I fell asleep at the wheel
Woke up with this come back song to tell you that the dream is real
But don't be too careful when your love is by your side
I held my horses for so long they almost died
I set them loose to run and now we are free
They paved the comeback road for me
And it could take me sometime to find myself and my way around
But only cost me a dime to call you up and tell you all I've found
And now I'm coming for you before the nightmares can come true
Before the book is closed and my fingers and toes are stuck in glue
Cause I was too careful with my love by my side
I held my horses for so long they almost died
I set them loose to run and now we are free
They paved the comeback road for me
