[Verse 1] Rode south before the winter I took shelter in your eyes Perched all the way to Brooklyn I didn't ask for nothin' But I place to spend the night And I've never felt the winds blow Like they do in Tennessee They weren't all that strong But carried them a song That reminded you to me [Chorus] But can you tell me About the moon that rises earlier up north? Or how the hills, where they sing In the early part of spring? Where the road goes on forever Like the pictures that we see When we're lost, scared and tired When we run free [Verse 2] But they say, "Boy, you're looking skinny Should you really go this hard? You're doing it for nothin' These risky milles you're truckin' Are crazy as they are far" Well, I know that there's a reason Why the rains keep rolling in The creosote is bloomin' The wrens are busy croonin' And the stark is turning in [Chorus] But can you tell me? About the moon that rises earlier up north? Or how the hills, where they sing In the early part of spring? Where the road goes on forever Like those pictures that you see When we're lost, scared and tired When we run free [Refrain] Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah [Bridge] But I'm strung out and foregone, I feel all alone And the winding of the river makes me wanna Find my way back home, my way back home My way back home, my way back home My way back home, my way back home My way back home, my way back home [Verse 3] Because I know it's not forever 'Cause I can only go so long One day I'll get to dying So the only thing worth trying Is leaving you a song [Chorus] But can you tell me? About the moon that rises earlier up north? Or how the hills, where they sing In the early part of spring? Where the road goes on forever Like those pictures that you see When we're lost, scared and tired When we run free Lost, scared and tired When you can't see Lost, scared and tired When we run free [Refrain] Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah [Ending]
