A Necessary Journey

Verse 1

Sand moves slow across the road

I count the miles I left behind

The radio plays something old

And I let it fade

My shadow stretches past the sign

A dry wind turns the pages of my mind

I never learned to say goodbye

So I just drive

Chorus

Nothing grows out here but time

Nothing calls my name

Every mile another line

I keep walking just the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just the same

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

A water tower rusted red

A town that no one left alive

I stop for gas and hang my head

Then I move on

The cactus keeps its secrets close

The sun burns holes in what I chose

I traded everything I know

For this long road

Chorus

Nothing grows out here but time

Nothing calls my name

Every mile another line

I keep walking just the same

Bridge

Maybe somewhere past the ridge

The sky forgets

Maybe someday I forgive

And just forget

Chorus

Nothing grows out here but time

Nothing calls my name

Every mile another line

I keep walking just the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just the same

Oh oh oh
