Lyrics

Fire on the clouds of grey and I’m on my way with the memory of your warmth still on my skin I don’t know what’s wrong with me but the road is talking telling me that where I’m going ain’t as good as where I’ve been. Ten cities in two weeks makes them all blur together I got fifty-two best friends to pass the time my whiskey must be bad the Jack of Hearts is talking Telling me a love that’s true don’t ever blur the line lately I’ve been wrestling with this feeling that’s bubbling up from deep within my core nothing I do will make it less revealing That the open road is losing it’s allure Sipping on my coffee in an all night dive I’m staring at a waitress with your hair she say’s, “why don’t you come home to me”, and I just smile and say, “thank you darling but I’m already there” And the buses and the cars and nameless smoky bars run in endless loops the whole night through and they’re calling out to me like sounds from this guitar telling me to take the road that leads me back to you, Oh. lately I’ve been wrestling with this feeling that’s bubbling up from deep within my core nothing I do will make it less revealing That the open road is losing it’s allure Now the billboards and the moon they both smile at me Ain't it strange I’ve never seen them there before some times we try too hard see what really matters when the answers are behind our own front doors lately I’ve been wrestling with this feeling that’s bubbling up from deep within my core nothing I do will make it less revealing That the open road is losing it’s allure it will eat you up and spit you our for sure I ain’t spending time away from you no more
