(Verse 1) The pines are heavy with the evening haze I’ve been driving through the ghost of younger days A fading dashboard light to guide the wheels Tracing lines across these empty fields (Chorus) And the road bends slow where the river runs dry Underneath that vast and quiet sky Count the miles, leave the noise behind I’m heading back to clear my mind (Verse 2) Left a lot of dust on the northern border town Waiting for the heavy rain to wash it down The porch light’s flickering a soft red glow Calling back the only place I know (Bridge) Oh, the sun goes down so cold When you’re carrying a heavy load But the shadows stretch and then they’re gone Keep on rolling till the dawn (Outro) Nearly home now… Yeah, I’m nearly home.
