GREAT DIVIDE

I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room
Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you
I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove

And putting peaks in my rear view

Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes
Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did
I'm left looking at the glowing ends

But am I too far gone
To be running home
Cause I'm longing tonight
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide

I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words
The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first
But all I find are more bridges to burn

So am I too far gone
To be running home
Cause I'm longing tonight
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide

Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes
I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night
Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind
The only thing worth getting right

So am I too far gone
Cause I'm running home
If only in my mind
I am somewhere, 'cross that great divide
