The Shield

Let's take a long ride I wanna go right through the shield Into the white light Into the wide silent fields Out where the land lies Telling lies wherever you look See it hides the lows and it hides the highs And the whole roller coaster ride Alright I can drive while you're sleeping We'll be long gone by the light You know we all got our reasons to stay up at night Come on, let's go I don't mind the driving snow Let it wipe away the way back home But it's not what you ever thought You can leave it, but it's never gone Let's take a long ride I wanna go into another time When the world was still ours And the jury was still out And the hills were just clouds in the sky But there's only one way out And it's on up over uneven ground So as hard as it seems, take just what you need 'Cause too much and you'll never succeed So come on, let's go I don't mind the winding road You know I kinda like to drive it slow Like we're coming home And the memories overflowing And your lungs just sing the songs they know 'Cause it's not what you ever thought You can leave it but it's never gone No, it's not what you ever thought You can leave it but it's never gone
