Did you ever wander far from home? Far from what is safe and comfortable? Trading all your demons for the moon And sleeping till the sun makes it all true. I don't know how long I've been gone And I can't say when I'll get home. I'll keep my engine clean and strong And run this soul where it belongs. Somewhere I can hear a lonesome train Burning in a direction I can't name. I'll shut my eyes and lay these bones to rest Off the beaten path we all know best. I don't know how long I've been gone And I can't say when I'll get home. I'll keep my engine clean and strong And run this soul where it belongs. Maybe I'm just spinning wheels lost in a world That lost the thrill of living on the edge until It's time for the bedroll, until the ember's gone.
