I kick the dirt from my shoes
Dirt it seemed liked keeping me from home
The open road to make my liquored tongue shut down
And it’s the only place where I can feel alone

So give me a little more time
To live this distant life
Console my crowded mind
Free me from this lie
To see your eyes through mine

I peel the wax from both my knuckles on the wheel
I’ll hold your candle forever in my soul
Flames to vex my angry heart, still too warm to feel
Will I go colder as I’m growing old

Give me a little more time
To live this distant life
Console my crowded mind
Free me from this lie
To see your eyes through mine
Oh, to see your eyes through mine

Well I was told the world is round
And I’ve been on the longest straightest street
Woah
I spend all my time driving around
Away from all the people that I meet
Woah
And if I drive away from you for long enough
Will I be back at your feet?

So give me a little more time
And grant this life to pass me by
Console my crowded mind
Free me from this lie
To see your eyes through mine
Oh, to see your eyes through mine
