Through the Great Divide

I ain't one for runnin'

But sometimes you just have got to go

Lately I've been all up in my head

So I'm headin' to the road

I'm gonna drive across the country

Til I reach that gold Pacific shore

And when I round the bend

And there's the end

I'm gonna drive a little more

Straight into the water

Where I can't be bothered

With these thoughts of love and war

Salty sea gonna wash me clean

Of all that come before

I've been tryin' so damn hard

To get her off my weary mind

It's a rough road, achin' and breakin' apart

The passage through the great divide

I ain't one for whinin'

But somehow you got to get it out

I'd rather take a hike and get me right

Than to sit around and pout

The Canyonlands, the Badlands,

The Grand Tetons, they call my name

So I pack my stuff into my truck

And I make my getaway

Straight into the sunset

I'm gonna chase it West

Til tomorrow becomes today

Give my woes to the color show

And watch them fade away

I've been tryin' so damn hard

To get her off my weary mind

It's a rough road, achin' and breakin' apart

The passage through the great divide

I've been tryna get over

But I keep slippin' down the mountainside

I've been tryna get around it all

But the valleys are so deep and wide

Now I know what I gotta do

It's the only thing to

The passage is through this

I just gotta go through it

I've been tryin' so damn hard

To get her off my weary mind

It's a rough road, achin' and breakin' apart

The passage through the great divide
