Highway Butterfly
Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels
15 solid forward gears
They glide like butterflies down the highway
They'll move you down the line
They'll bring you home in time
They'll sing you songs of love returning
Oh, our brother's gone away
Now he can't play like he used to
But his words still ring true
They curl like dust clouds on the roadside
He's been broken by a heart
But still does not live apart
From all the sorrow he has shown me
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
Don't you wish there was a way?
Like a kid who's been out throwing stones
Into a river close to home
I've taught myself to trust the melody
So I sing when I've got the time
First to lose and then to find
If I don't make it, don't you worry
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
Don't you wish there was a way?
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To see you finally settled down
To see your children gathered round
Don't you wish there was a way?
15 solid forward gears
They glide like butterflies down the highway
They'll move you down the line
They'll bring you home in time
They'll sing you songs of love returning
Oh, our brother's gone away
Now he can't play like he used to
But his words still ring true
They curl like dust clouds on the roadside
He's been broken by a heart
But still does not live apart
From all the sorrow he has shown me
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
Don't you wish there was a way?
Like a kid who's been out throwing stones
Into a river close to home
I've taught myself to trust the melody
So I sing when I've got the time
First to lose and then to find
If I don't make it, don't you worry
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To walk you to the county line
To see you shining in your time
Don't you wish there was a way?
Oh, our brother's gone away
Don't you wish that he could stay?
To see you finally settled down
To see your children gathered round
Don't you wish there was a way?
