Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to think that this was my town
What a stupid thing to think
I hear you're fighting off a breakdown
I, myself, am on the brink
I used to want to be a real man
I don't know what that even means
Now, I just want you in my arms again
And we can search each other's dreams
[Verse 2]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are, I hope the high road leads you home again
[Verse 3]
I've heard enough of the white man's blues
I've sang enough about myself
So, if you're looking for some bad news
You can find it somewhere else
Last year was a son of a bitch
For nearly everyone we know
But I ain't fighting with you down in the ditch
I'll meet you up here on the road
[Verse 4]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are, I hope the high road leads you home again
To a world you wanna live in
[Verse 5]
We'll ride the ship down, dumping
Dumping buckets overboard
There can't be more of them than us
There can't be more
[Verse 6]
I know you're tired
And you ain't sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are, I hope the high road leads you home again
To a world you wanna live in
To a world you wanna live in
