Foreverinmotion - Love Against The Grain lyrics

Beneath a maple tree I watch the dying leaves let go And tumble down on the blacktop street Got some wild fire in these early morning eyes There's a shift in the wind and all the colors rush in I let it fill my heart till I feel it split Hit the road in just these clothes and get away Drop the everyday, make some love against the grain This nation is stitched up with Christmas lights Billboards dogmas and s** shop signs Strung along these roads we drive With haste when I need to slow down And there's a hurt that dwells in each town I pa** Where a silent war broke the working man Left with little more than pink paper and rain Just trying to find the way back to shore again But what gets me the most is that hint of love That perseveres in the face of just giving up And that alone my friend is beauty you can't buy The darkest places fill with the faintest light So I pull off slow to the truck stop glow k** the lights and just listen to the highway moan Like grandfather time singing blues to the western wind I fill up the tank and have a look around And I love what I see because it's all right now Go inside and give my money to a girl with soft brown eyes Though I hardly speak a word 'cause she froze me up inside And I curse the way I fall for everything Walk back to the car and let my secrets sting When the bu*terflies become a swarm of bees It's a delicate pose I taught myself to hold No chance for love without letting go of this free heart Unbound, chasing selfish dreams I'm just a lonely soldier on the road the greater things
