Thunderhead

I can still feel
The strongest hurt I've had
I was driving
An escape route I'd set up
Along highway nine
I was passing through Dillon

When the crunching of metal
Bit down all around me
Coming to a close in my chest
And I looked at you dying
Where you had me all cornered
Seven feet tall, meeting me at a rest

I left the scene unscratched
I left a million selves behind
And at the wheel sat only a coward
Who took his easy route
And found his way to hide

It's a big world, I'm telling ya old man
And I hate that every day
I stray further inside
Well, I try to run away from being afraid of
What I'd go through if you died

So, I took to the mountains
To get out while I had time
I never was there
I'd never been there
All I left with you was my pride

Now I'd burn down this town
Just to have you around
We could get you on out for a ride
Maybe head down to Dillon
Have a look at the moose
Get a couple more hours by your side

Weren't you just alone?
I've been in a hurry now
Won't give myself up just yet
Won't, give myself up just yet
I knew something was wrong
I've been feeling dirtied down
Won't sell myself short just yet
