Did you ever wander far from home?
Far from what is safe and comfortable?
Trading all your demons for the moon
And sleeping till the sun makes it all true.
I don't know how long I've been gone
And I can't say when I'll get home.
I'll keep my engine clean and strong
And run this soul where it belongs.
Somewhere I can hear a lonesome train
Burning in a direction I can't name.
I'll shut my eyes and lay these bones to rest
Off the beaten path we all know best.
I don't know how long I've been gone
And I can't say when I'll get home.
I'll keep my engine clean and strong
And run this soul where it belongs.
Maybe I'm just spinning wheels lost in a world
That lost the thrill of living on the edge until
It's time for the bedroll, until the ember's gone.
