The sun will shine on my face
The wind will blow at my back
I shall lose these feelings of disgrace
And thus, my anger will fade to black

No more shall I be tied down
The road is there, but I built the bridge
It’s time to leave this town
Head out far from the ridge

There’s a calmness between the road and I
An understanding of life
It helps me forget seeing you cry
Knowing I was the one that struck your heart with a knife

Yet here I find myself reading a letter
I’m not strong enough to mail it
So, I’ll burn it, and hope things get better
There’s no place in your life for me to fit

It’s a long drive from Jackson to Cincinnati
Just to find you’re in the Gulf Shores
So, no need to cry and get sappy
For you I would drive much more

I knew it was you, when the world looked different
I was a coward that ran away
Tried to forget, but that was me being ignorant
For you, I promise to stay
