Way Back We

could I make you out
could I take you out

would you ride with me
to my home in the south

it’s gotta [good] soul yeah
I’d so Love to show ya

climb a mountain or two
climb two mountains with you
and did it all from zoom

we groove
we cool

I’m sloppy
you smooth

sunsettin’ fool
for fallin’ for you

the snow it’s a comin’
a quick ride home I’ll be thumbin’

talk my way
across the usa
got so much to say

how many ways can I listen away
my speakin' days

miss the burnin’ path
miss the reddest road

miss the father son
miss the holy ghost

wise man said:
to them,
young friend,
keep close

so from coast to coast
I’m both guest and host

and when those wild eyes realize
that the name of the game is compromise

you can lie down and die
or pull up a chair and try

once, while crossin’ the badlands at night

a ring fell out the sky
from the heavens so high

the ring fit me just right
diamond thru and thru

silly carbon-dating fool
spit the carbonated drool

so with heaven’s gift
I get on with it

tighten my tie tonight
and gaze into the sky so bright

sunrise and sunset
I hold my hands to my chest

spend a second or three
dreamin’ of the way back we

before there was you and me
there was the way back we

and it’s the way back we
that I’m longing to see…
