Those damn crossroads
With all their lovin’ arms
They never lead him home
Melissa is alone
 
She hates freight trains
The cargo’s always the same
They all take him away
Melissa sleeps alone
 
POOR MELISSA
 
No sunbeams in her hair
She’s got blankets and his lies
Big dreams that never fly
Melissa cries alone
 
Who knows when he'll show up
That gypsy in a pickup truck
Expecting lovin’ on the run
While Melissa remains alone
Melissa remains alone
 
All she ever wanted was someone to call her own
All she has now is an empty house he calls home
 
POOR MELISSA
 
Melissa alone
Poor Melissa
Stupid Melissa
