Deer Trails

I've been following the deer trails down

Just to see where they lie down

When they wanna get away

From all the city's busy sounds

I've been chasing the sounds of the birds in the morning

To hear the songs of the films that they're scoring

Do you think that they know

All the secrets that they hold?

I just wish I knew what was going on

In the backseat, wondering where we're going

It's a tough world living on the road

When you're calling, begging me to come home

I love my job, don't get me wrong

But some days I think I'd be better off

Working at the local coffee shop

Sneaking to the break room to give you a call

Take me back to Gram and Grandpa's house

We'd be scaling walls in the river now

Till we heard a voice we know

Saying, "Come inside before it gets dark out"

Let me go back to my old backyard

When we were shooting cans and collecting rocks

Now we're miles from my hometown

Saying, "What do we do now?"

I just wish I knew what was going on

In the backseat, wondering where we're going

It's a tough world, living on the road

When you're calling, begging me to come home

I love my job, don't get me wrong

But some days, I think I'd be better off

Working at the local coffee shop

Sneaking to the break room to give you a call

I just wish I knew what was going on

In the backseat, wondering where we're going

It's a tough world, living on the road

When you're calling, begging me to come home

I love my job, don't get me wrong

But some days, I think I'd be better off

Working at the local coffee shop

Sneaking to the break room to give you a call
