From the recording Before The Highway Came Through

Lyrics

I have seen the sunrise in far too many places
People call me lucky don’t know why
Wish I could quit running just slow down and listen
Long enough to hear the same bird twice
When I wake tomorrow, I hope I see the ocean
If I don’t I guess I’ll head that way
It is quite a distance, coming from west Texas
If I leave now I should get there in just a couple days

It’s a long dark road. With a heart this cold and gray
No need to be told. I wake up with this heart each and every day

Circle the horizon. Feet above the clouds
No way down until you say its so
Pushin through like cattle. Welcome home to Houston
Hope I get some sleep before I go
Obstacles between us. Miles are only one
When I’m close you’re still so far away
Headed out tomorrow. Feelin Denver calling
If I leave now I should get there in just a couple days
