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 lookin' far and wide for what I gotta prove

And puttin' peaks in my rearview

Well it's colder here than anyone told me the South could get

And I took to stayin' up real late and smokin' cigarettes

The cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did

And I'm left lookin' at the glowing ends

But am I too far gone

To be running home?

'Cause I’m longin' tonight

To be somewhere across 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 bein' found is gettin' 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 longin' tonight

To be somewhere across that great divide

(Oooohhh)

Well the highway has 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 gettin' right

So am I too far gone?

'Cause I'm running home

If only in my mind

I am somewhere across that great divide
