The realization that I ran away again
Comes creeping down my spine in the morning
I found home where there was no room to grow
By Fletcher Falls where the cold waters flow
And we'd drive those winding mountain roads
With Jack and Bobby on the radio
And I left him like everyone he's ever known
And when I go I'm not coming back
Magic ends in the presence of logical fact
And no ritual's 'gonna get us back on track
The sky is grey and the leaves they fall on the ground
And I'm headed back east to my hometown
'Cause you ain't one to tell me when to slow down
When I'm going to slow I may as well turn around
And I know its 'gonna be so god damn hard
Just knowing that we're prairie miles apart
When I hear that transport truck engine start
But I know your light can lead you through the dark
And I'll play these strings to the rhythm of your heart
