Make It Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's lightning in the sky
And the houses are on fire
The sun is getting cold
And the river's getting higher
So I keep moving on
I'm watching where I'm driving
I'm staying right on coast
I'm taking all of my things
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I gotta make it back
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
So much is in my path
And the preachers right before me
But yesterday has passed
Committed to my memory
So what else can I say
You're doing what you're giving
And I'm fighting everyday
I'm loving and I'm leaving
And I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
I hope this train
Don't fall off the track
Cause I, I gotta make it back
I'm on my way
Felt the wind at my back
Rolling down the track
(Now I tell myself)
But baby have no fear
Cause changes what you make it
And home is getting near
So close that I can taste it
I know this train
Won't fall off the track
Cause I, I'm gonna make it back
I know this train
Won't fall off the track
Cause I, I'm gonna make it back
Yeah I, I'm gonna make it back
