It's Been So Long

It's been so long

I don't need another weekend
I don't need another day
It's time to be gone for a while
I need a bigger change
Everybody has restless moments that seem to come and go
But I can't get my eyes to quit looking West and looking North

There's a fire on the side of a ridgeline
At the end of a long, hard day
A little time with the last of the sunshine
I've gotta leave
I'm gonna stay, yeah
You decide with your life where the time goes
I decided to live too far away
But there's a drive and a ride from the coast
And no stopping me today

It's been so long since I've seen the mountains
Woke up to the sound of the leaves blowing downwind
I've seen the beach and I've heard the waves
There's no peace in the noise they make
If there's a song along these shores
I can't hear it anymore
It's been so long

Well, I believe in the freedom
You breathe in the mountain air
Hiking tales and biking trails
With adventure left to spare
Everybody has breathless moments at the edge of all they know
But I've run out of East and South
I'm headed West and looking North

There's a fire on the side of a ridgeline
At the end of a long, hard day
A little time with the last of the sunshine
I've gotta leave
I'm gonna stay, yeah
All the stars in the sky come alive and
It's a sight no city could ever give
You realize in the quiet of your mind
This is how you wanna live

It's been so long since I've seen the mountains
Woke up to the sound of the leaves blowing downwind
I've seen the beach and I've heard the waves
There's no peace in the noise they make
If there's a song along these shores
I can't hear it anymore
It's been so long
It's been so long
It's been so long so long, so long
It's been so long so long, so long

It's been so long since I've seen the mountains
Woke up to the sound of the leaves blowing downwind
I've seen the wheat growing on the plains
Spring time seeds, summer rains
Autumn harvest, winter snow
There's space to live but no place to grow

It's been so long since I've seen the mountains
Woke up to the sound of the leaves blowing downwind
I've seen the beach and I've heard the waves
There's no peace in the noise they make
If there's a song along these shores
I can't hear it anymore
It's been so long
