Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Two of a Kind (John Ims)
The song is by Jon Ims (sometimes he spells his name with an "h" sometimes not.

Here are the lyrics. copyright Rites of Passage Music (BMI)

Being on the road without a friend
Can you make feel life's loneliness
And a voice that rides the wind
Stream across the airwaves
In a simple country song
One that you don't hear until
the moon is full and bright

Well it's Texas once again
One about the good old boy
Whose caught remembering images of childhood
And the places that he'd been
Lost inside his questions wondering where it all would end

CHORUS
Another midnight on the highway Houston in the distance
It seems I'm always leaving love behind
Singing along with someone whose soul is on the radio
Sounds like me and the good old boy are two of kind

Been down in a cheap hotel
Keeps you in touch with an emptiness
Old pickers know too well
Comes on strong when you drop your boots
And you sit up on the bed
Trying to keep your thoughts from dancing all around your head

So you fumble with the dial
Till you hear that melody singing sad and sweet
There you are again with him somewhere down the line
Your feeling just a little bit better
When you hear his guitar whine

REPEAT CHORUS
