Well I'm running down this road, a hundred miles from home
We quarreled like true lovers often will
And I still recall the shame, thought I heard her call my name
But it was nothing, nothing but a whippoorwill
Dark clouds, and lightning in the air
Rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair
ย
She said we had to part, even though she held my heart
And to this day, I know she always will
It was such a dreadful sight, but she's peaceful there tonight
Lying in the ground so cold and still
I couldn't let her walk away
From everything she promised on our wedding day
ย
Now I'm running every day, but I'll never get away
From the rhythm of her voice, it haunts me still
As I turned my gun around, thought I heard that mournful sound
But it was nothing, nothing but a whippoorwill
Dark clouds, and lightning in the air
Rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair
