Back Of My Mind Lyrics - Singles - John Hiatt

Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs 

He was calling to me at the time 

And I knew even then, I could die for the thoughts 

That I kept in the back of my mind 

But I dared not to speak 

How I felt for my dad 

Cause there were no words to define 

The ball of confusion, of feelings and junk 

That I kept in the back of my mind

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

So I took to the highway 

And I kept to myself 

Just a lookin' and hopin' to find 

Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist 

With this stuff in the back of my mind 

So I took me a job 

And I took me a wife 

And I took me a bottle of wine 

And it did not take long, 'til all I had left 

Was this stuff in the back of my mind 

Well the end of the tunnel 

Just never came up 

'til I came to the end of the line 

And I saw that the light I'd been hoping to see 

Was just a spark in the back of my mind 

Photos 

And the cold wind that blew 

Through the hole in my heart 

Made a fire for the very first time 

From some branches of trust 

And a kindling of faith 

And that spark in the back of my mind 

Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train 

Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind
