lyrics

I said I’ll call you soon
and like that I closed the phone
pulled the plug on another love
and now I’m chasing the rain
and hoping I’ve still got time enough
and I, I chronicle every mile
from when I, I crossed the state line
from when I left Texas
to the exit where I thought I’d leave this behind…

and the cotton fields spread far
their flowers like early snow on the ground
and the flat shades of gray and blue sky
spread the space above and all around
and at least I am grateful to be driving east
the sun is in my eyes but it just means
fewer time zones between you and me

and I’ve never been good at figuring out what to do
and I’ve never been able to hear the small voice they tell me to listen to
and I’ve never been able to sit still and look around at what’s been lost
I always just rush ahead, no head for numbers
and rarely do I calculate the cost

but that don’t mean I don’t find myself thinking about all my sins and
when and how I’ll find the time and money to pay for them
and all the times I stood there – weak – and toed the line
I dragged my foot through the dirt and made it blur
and then I changed my mind

and I’ve never been good at figuring out what to do
and I’ve never been able to hear the small voice they tell me to listen to
and I’ve never been able to sit still and look around at what’s been lost
I always just rush ahead, no head for numbers
and rarely do I calculate the cost
