Sunset Rodeo

of all the things that i remember

about that summer we took to the road

you left a goodbye note on your mama's kitchen table

if you didn't get away

you just might explode

and if she missed you

well, it never really showed

-

the spaces in between

where we've been and the things we've seen

we store our lessons and our scars

some dreams are a sad parade

of lovers lost and mistakes we've made

hidin' somewhere out beyond the stars

you can close your eyes and try to let it go

but they're all ridin' in the sunset rodeo

-

of all the places i remember

it's hard to point to anything

and call it home

with so much disappearing

in the rear view mirror

you know roots don't set

beneath a rolling stone

at least not the kind of roots

that we have grown

-

the spaces in between

where we've been and the things we've seen

we store our lessons and our scars

some dreams are a sad parade

of lovers lost and mistakes we've made

hidin' somewhere out beyond the stars

you can close your eyes and try to let it go

they're all ridin' in the sunset rodeo

in that sunset rodeo

-

the spaces in between

where we've been and the things we've seen

we store our lessons and our scars

some dreams are a sad parade

of lovers lost and mistakes we've made

hidin' somewhere out beyond the stars

it's like a haunted song on a distant radio

you can close your eyes and try to let it go

we're all riding

in the sunset rodeo

in that sunset rodeo
