Lyrics

I've spent too many days in that old wandering way
Where the highway pay-for-play has been my friend
And all that running seems to tend to leave me empty and then
Each time the two-lane bends, I'm more alone
I try to keep it off my mind, but oftentimes I find
That I miss that girl of mine's sweet company
While John Prine and Slade Cleaves sing what the radio receives
As I coast through these mountain trees on my way home
Singing sycamore, sycamore
Does my Shenandoah lady love me like she did before?
Sycamore, sycamore
Are all my second chances tangled in your branches
Just a little bit higher than I can go?
As these knives of daylight slice through my to-do lullabies
It comes as no surprise that I can see
Some touch of destiny riding shotgun with me
As concrete eternity keeps stretching on
But I'm making decent time and this infinite white line
Will lead the ghosts I've left behind right to their thrones
Try to chase how far I've come beyond the wickedness I've done
As my love stays on the run for one more song
Singing sycamore, sycamore
Does my Shenandoah lady love me like she did before?
Sycamore, sycamore
Are all my second chances tangled in your branches
Just a little bit higher than I can go?
Oh, sycamore, sycamore
Does my Shenandoah lady love me like she did before?
Sycamore, oh sycamore
Are all my second chances tangled in your branches
Just a little bit higher than I can go?
