North of Town
VERSE
Driving along the highway on a road that never ends
Thoughts of longing on my mind an empty heart in my hands
This road looks so familiar now like an aging memory
Miles of cornfield try to save so many long-lost dreams
CHORUS
There isn't much to see along this road I've traveled long.
It seems I've seen it all before, All the right and wrong
Someday I’ll come back home and settle down
When driving no longer leads me north of town
VERSE 2
I’ve wondered why I like to drive out here
Breezes blow down country roads and sound so sincere
Time passes gently on a corner out of town
the sun shines on the shoulder of another day unbound
SOLO
VERSE 3
I set my wheels out on the road and leave my town behind
I don’t know what I’m lookin’ for much less what I would find
Emptiness and answers meet just like a cross
Where pavement turns to gravel and I find what I had lost
CHORUS
