(no subject)
We went rolling up the coast til there was no more coast to wander
We tried every different road just to see which took us further
We were living on the run, but there was no one chasing after
We were looking out for love, and we were flirting with disaster
While the world fades out
Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll be there, oh, I'm home again
Oh, the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
To surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world...
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass...
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well...
the broken clock is a comfort
it helps me sleep tonight
maybe catch up tomorrow
from stealing all my time
and I'm here still waiting
though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
like you've already figured out...
The old man just smiled and said
"boy let me tell you something, this ain't nothing"
He said I learned at an early age,
There's things that matter and there's things that don't
So if you're waiting here for me to cry,
I hate to disappoint you boy, but I won't
He said you sit and watch your loving wife of fifty years fighting for her life
Then you hold her hand til her heart of gold stops pumping
Well Yeah boy that's something,
So this ain't nothin'
Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world
Took the midnight train going anywhere...
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
Took the midnight train going anywhere...
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits haven't always been my style
See I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in '63
And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Well there's a county fair every fall
And your friends are there no matter when you call
Yeah It may not sound like much but it's where I'm from
We tried every different road just to see which took us further
We were living on the run, but there was no one chasing after
We were looking out for love, and we were flirting with disaster
While the world fades out
