Heading South
Here I am for the millionth time
Trying to pin my feelings down into a rhyme
The words come best when I take a drive
Something 'bout the open road just clears my mind
But lately it's been dull and part of me is afraid
I drove twenty miles to find the perfect word
Instead I found out I have nothing to say
And the car starts breaking down
Still got the pedal pushed to the ground
I'll just keep heading south
Until I'd rather be anywhere else
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
There I was trying to play along
I took it on the chin and said I'd write a song
I bottled my doubts and put them on the shelf
Not once in all those years did I believe myself
So now I'm out of touch and part of me is afraid
I had the chance to get it all out
Instead I let it become a part of me and
I won't keep faking now
Or tell lies to myself
I'll just keep heading south
Until I'd rather be anywhere else and
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
Now my head and my heart are in every line
Even though my head and my heart are in a million different places
At a million different times
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
There I was trying to play along
Acting like you weren't the one in every song
Trying to pin my feelings down into a rhyme
The words come best when I take a drive
Something 'bout the open road just clears my mind
But lately it's been dull and part of me is afraid
I drove twenty miles to find the perfect word
Instead I found out I have nothing to say
And the car starts breaking down
Still got the pedal pushed to the ground
I'll just keep heading south
Until I'd rather be anywhere else
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
There I was trying to play along
I took it on the chin and said I'd write a song
I bottled my doubts and put them on the shelf
Not once in all those years did I believe myself
So now I'm out of touch and part of me is afraid
I had the chance to get it all out
Instead I let it become a part of me and
I won't keep faking now
Or tell lies to myself
I'll just keep heading south
Until I'd rather be anywhere else and
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
Now my head and my heart are in every line
Even though my head and my heart are in a million different places
At a million different times
Here I go
Looking for meaning down an old dirt road
Wish I'd find
That what I want and what I need could be the same just once this time
There I was trying to play along
Acting like you weren't the one in every song
