World Spin, Home Spun

(Album: Up, On & Over! - 2013)

Drive all night and you're almost home
You sing along a song on the radio
Your dashboard lights and your engine moans
The last time you left was long ago

And when you ride, the half folks and empty eyes, and everyone starts asking where you've been
Just then you realize that while you were out chasing pines, everybody else got settled in

You are older, you are now, once a young gun
Now the door is locked so the lights all leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spun

And off you go and on you ride
You never felt so lost and left behind
Your headlights glow on your heavy mind, shining on the road and now you're blind
You can hope the stretch ahead is silverlined

And when you return, back to town, the place you yearn is the only one who knows where you've been
It'll be no surprise, while everyone has lived their lives, the memories you left them were thin

You are older, you are now, once a young gun
Now the door is locked so the lights all leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spun

Now when you leave here, you look twice at your loved ones, make sure to soak it in
Now when you leave here, you look twice at your loved ones
You don't know how they'll grow, they just know you're leaving

You are older, you are now, once a young gun
Now the door is locked so the lights all leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
