Great Divide

I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove And putting peaks in my rear view Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did I'm left looking at the glowing ends But am I too far gone To be running home Cause I'm longing tonight To be somewhere 'cross that great divide I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first But all I find are more bridges to burn So am I too far gone To be running home Cause I'm longing tonight To be somewhere 'cross that great divide Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind The only thing worth getting right So am I too far gone Cause I'm running home If only in my mind I am somewhere, 'cross that great divide
