Back To The Woods

Verse 1

Woke up this morning with the river in my mind

All those years of pavement left the good earth behind

Window box tomatoes never tasted right

Something in the soil called me home tonight

Pre-Chorus

And I feel the moss beneath my bare toes

Where the tall grass bends and the wind blows

Chorus

Back to the woods

Where the deer still roam

Back to the woods

Where I found my own

Roots and bark and moss and stone

Back to the woods I go

Verse 2

Sold the little house with the picket line

Left the keys on the table one last time

Satchel on my shoulder and a jar of tea

Road that curls like a willow tree

Pre-Chorus

And the cedars whisper my given name

Down the long green trail I came

Chorus

Back to the woods

Where the deer still roam

Back to the woods

Where I found my own

Roots and bark and moss and stone

Back to the woods I go

Bridge

Mother earth is patient pure and true

Held me gently when I had no clue

Wild and ragged quiet and still

Every shadow knows my will

Chorus

Back to the woods

Where the deer still roam

Back to the woods

Where I found my own

Roots and bark and moss and stone

Back to the woods I go

Outro

Mm-mm-mm

Back to the woods

Mm-mm-mm
