There's a distance growing inside of my feelings And I must leave you alone A friendship for highways and sunshine and good times Is growing inside my bones The sounds of the city are getting me down And I must be moving on And when the sun rises up on the mountain You can find me gone I've wasted too much time Don't get to thinking this needing for leaving Is losing because of you It takes much more than some misplaced feelings To ramble me into blues And I have a dream in my mind I must follow And the feeling is truth And when the sun rises up on the mountain I'll be leaving you I've wasted too much time The smell of the country after sweet summer's rain Freshens my memories The friends I have known in the years come and gone On roads that I'm longing to see Don't get me wrong now, I really will miss you I just have this need to be free And when the sun rises up on the mountain I'll be taking my leave I've wasted too much time I've got to find peace of mind I've wasted too much time
