V6-WILD

All I got is time And the open air tonight All I got is space And the promise of the road Hmm-mm, roll it out behind me Hmm-mm, everything I couldn't hold Checked out of a room I never checked in to There's a bible in the drawer nobody ever read Only left a twenty on the nightstand - nothing more And a cigarette burn from the little bit of weed The clerk said "son, you look like you've been drinking" I said "no sir, I'm just spooked by my reflection" And he nodded like a man who's heard it plenty And I left while counting out the miles ahead There was a preacher on the highway out of Denver Said the end is coming faster than we blink And I laughed until I couldn't see him in the mirror Then I pulled off just to sit a while and think 'Cause I never had a plan worth keeping Never had a name worth much But the sky out here [pause] don't charge me for the view And that's the first free thing I've touched All I got is time And the open air tonight All I got is space And the promise of the road So don't you wait up, don't get sold I'll be somewhere west of getting old All I got is time Lord, I got nothing else but time And the open air tonight There's a girl who used to sing along in Lansing Got one hand on the wheel and the other one on me She said "everybody here is only passing" I said "honey, that's the part that sets you free" And she looked at me the way you look at weather Coming in across a field you had to work And she said "you'll be alone and think it's freedom" I said "maybe, but I gotta try" — it could be worse There's a man in every diner on this highway Telling stories that he half believes He says "son, I still remember that summer of sixty-nine" Then he stares a little too long down at his sleeves I ain't looking for forever I ain't looking to be found I just want one road that don't already know me Before this whole thing settles down (All I got is time, uuhhh) (All I got is space, uuhhh) And an hour east of nowhere I finally got honest And briefly thought - "what's the point of staying?" Maybe the freedom that I bought myself so cheaply Costs a whole lot more than I can pay But tonight the sky is doing something holy That's a lie - but as we know - also the start of a good story because it's just the truth I'm chasing But it's mine and I'm not giving it away (Not giving it away) [Guitar Solo] All I got is time And the open air tonight All I got is space And the promise of the road So don't you wait up, push along to something bold I'll be somewhere west of getting old All I got is time Lord, I got nothing left but time And the open air tonight Hmm-mm, roll it out behind me Hmm-mm, everything I couldn't hold
