Troubled day on Monument Circle

Just pulled into town an hour ago

Snows been falling all day long

and I'm stuck in Indi with no place to go

Stopped in Cincinnatti for a short while

hoping to see some old friends of mine

but it seems those days are forgotten

"my friend, that was a different time"

So help me,God, I'm listening

and all i hear is heavy rain falling

and if i dont hear a lovely voice soon

i'll start hear the bottle calling

Memphis is too far away

and Paducah would take a full day's ride

Everyone I know is south of here

from this lonely hotel in which i reside

Louiseville, I'll take that trip

come Thursday, look up some names that i recall

and if they too have disappeared

then i guess that would just beat all

Cause this is the coldest December

i think i've ever had to face

as i drive back down to Lexington

to sit down in this lonely lonely place
