Road's Rearview
Thank you sir, I could sure use a ride
I looked at the dash as I stepped inside
A picture of his woman waiting back home
He asks me if I had someone to call my own
(and I don't)
Another time my feet might've moved
My heart bounced back and my lips kissed you
I once had a lover in a mountain shack,
But I left that town, and I'm never goin' back
She glowed in the sun, her curls shined fair
We'd sit on the porch and smoke the mountain air
We watched another sky fade into dust
I loved the southern accent on her lips when she cussed
(and she did)
I built her up, the girl I dreamed
Her face in the mirror, it ain't who she seemed
Don't look back in the road's rearview
The past is the past, the reflection is skewed
(And it's true)
Another time my feet might've moved
My heart bounced back and my lips kissed you
I once had a lover in a mountain shack
But I left that town, and I'm never goin' back
Time swallows up the lines of the road,
Makes life seem like an impossible load
(and it was)
I looked at the dash as I stepped inside
A picture of his woman waiting back home
He asks me if I had someone to call my own
(and I don't)
Another time my feet might've moved
My heart bounced back and my lips kissed you
I once had a lover in a mountain shack,
But I left that town, and I'm never goin' back
She glowed in the sun, her curls shined fair
We'd sit on the porch and smoke the mountain air
We watched another sky fade into dust
I loved the southern accent on her lips when she cussed
(and she did)
I built her up, the girl I dreamed
Her face in the mirror, it ain't who she seemed
Don't look back in the road's rearview
The past is the past, the reflection is skewed
(And it's true)
Another time my feet might've moved
My heart bounced back and my lips kissed you
I once had a lover in a mountain shack
But I left that town, and I'm never goin' back
Time swallows up the lines of the road,
Makes life seem like an impossible load
(and it was)
