Edwin McCain Follow

Well this life's stretched out before me

The highway shimmering with stars

The knowing glances of the runaways

That never made it this far

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend

My lover's name is music

Well she's held my heart so long

Tethered and pulling at the chains of disregard

What if all of this is wrong

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend

And we throw our prayers up skyward

Hoping anyone will hear

From Storyville to Broadway

This soul won't disappear

Well I heard that boy in Memphis

Playing memories and dreams

The ghosts of miracles played upon the stage

And then vanishing like steam

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend
