Lyrics

Sun is climbing high
Burning into the day
So I'll wave goodbye
I'll be starting away
Brush away my doubts
That tomorrow will hold
Feeling fine for now
Heading down the road
To a city to sing
About the trees and the winds
About the hills in the spring
And the river that bends
Through the rocky deep pass
And the puppies and ponies
Running through the grass
And up and down the road
In the dark they sit
And they holler out more
White smoke a-wisp
From here to the door
Their admission they pay
For the stories they're told
Of a clear new day
Only down the road
Heavy air at my back
Lazy meadows ahead
In a book I keep track
Of the promises said
For my songs in a town
That tomorrow will hold
Feeling better for now
Facing down the road
