Robert, my friend, driving the big rigs
into the blinding snows of Minnesota
Heather, his lover, working two jobs
waiting on tables, surviving on tips
They bought our trailer
a dream she had forever
to have her own place
her own space
Everyone has this deep need
for their own place and space
Well, they finally made the last payment
but then Robert told us Heather has died
I can’t believe it, but it’s true
Then Robert disappeared from our lives
he’s driving his big rig into the darkness
These were good mountain people
but now they’re gone from my life
