James Taylor - Enough To Be On Your Way lyrics

Notes: Jt on sony.com: my brother alex died in '93 on (not for) my birthday. we all went down to florida to say goodbye. the day after we flew home (the day after his cremation) a giant mother hurrican Lowed us north through the carolina's; trashing everything in its path and finally raining record rains on martha's vineyard (home). In paris, a year later i changed his character to a hippie chick named alice and the location to santa fe; but my soulful older brother is still all over this song like a cheap suit. Almost f**-free. The sun shines on this funeral The same as on a birth The way it shines on everything That happens here on earth It rolls across the western sky And back into the sea And spends the day Upon this f**ed-up family So long old pal The last time i saw alice She was leaving santa fe With a bunch of round-eyed buddhists In a k**er chevrolet Said they turned her out of texas Yeah she burned 'em down back home Now she's wild with expectation On the edge of the unknown Chorus: Oh it's enough to be on your way It's enough just to cover ground It's enough to be moving on Home, build it behind your eyes Carry it in your heart Safe among your own They brought her back on a friday night Same day i was born We sent her up the smoke stack And back into the storm She blew up over the san juan mountains And spent herself at last The threat of heavy weather That was what she knew the best Chorus It woke me up on a sunday An hour before the sun It had me watching the headlights Out on highway 591 'til i stepped into my trousers 'til i pulled my big boots on I walked out on the mesa And i stumbled on this song Chorus
