Great Divide

(album: The Closest Thing To Home - 2017)

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 rearview

Well it's colder here than anyone told me the South could get
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes
The cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did
And 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 across 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 being 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 across that great divide

(Oooohhh)

Well the highway has way of playing tricks on tired eyes
I swear that I see you riding 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 across that great divide
