Room 119 is the room my mom was in while she was dying of cancer.

I’m stuck here in 119
The lights are off and I’m lying here alone
I’m tired, but I cannot sleep
Maybe it’s time to be moving on

We drove down to the river
The rain was falling, but the water was low
She talked about the future
I just stood there and watched it flow

Chorus:
I can hardly see you at all
And I can’t catch my breath
Tell me what do you call it
When this is all that’s left

Some cowboy from down the hall
Keeps coming round tryin’ to give me somethin’
I don’t need what he’s bringing
I just want this nightmare to end

She’s gone back to the city
There’s a plane coming and she wants to be there
She swears that it won’t hurt her
I don’t know and I don’t care

Chorus:
I can hardly see you at all
And I can’t catch my breath
Tell me what do you call it
When this is all that’s left

Bridge:
Maybe I’ll pull myself together
Maybe everything will be OK
Here’s to you my old smoky friend
Here’s to better days

Chorus:
I can hardly see you at all
And I can’t catch my breath
Tell me what do you call it
When this is all that’s left
