Don't you know where you come from?
You could leave it all behind
There's enough for the two of us
But I'd still give you mine
Count all the things that we've been through
Soon you're out of room
I know that you whisper lies
When you're speaking your truth
Chorus:
You live on a place I could never touch
It doesn't mean there's no middle ground
You never were the one who could lift me up
It doesn't mean you let me down
All our heroes on your wall
You know how I feel
There are words we don't have to say
It's still there, I know that it's real
(Chorus)
I've not seen you for some time
Mother says you're well
As for me, well I'm down' fine
I guess there's nothin' much to tell
I'll be round on Christmas Day
Don't expect a gift
But I'll bring those old guitars
And I'll show you a couple'a riffs

Finally talked to my old friend
Been in New York for a while
Looking' for a win
So good to hear his voice
But I could tell he'd changed in the years
Told me about his choices
He said I'm goin' home
Man, these people are too cold
Think I'll get to know my family
Before we're too old
How bout you
What's life lookin' like these days
Said like him I feel there's a change
Comin' my way
Old flames died off
I guess these things have to burn out
In defiance, I'm better off alone
I think I can do without
In truth, it's been hard
Nothin' much for me to cheer
Been at it so long
Keep thinkin' this may be the year
Left the city for a while
Got lost tryin' to find my way through
the country at night
Saw a church up on the hill
For the first time in years I prayed
Just for the thrill
I said Lead me to water, Lord
I'll drink your cup
Had it easy so long
Think it's made me too tough
Well, old friend I guess it's time I should sign off
Seems you found what's important to you
Hey, maybe that'll rub off
Yeah, I miss you old friend
I'll be pullin' you here in my heart
There's a dream still out there for us
Lookin' for a start
Maybe there's a girl
Maybe we'll stop choosin' out of fear
I'm makin' the call
This May be the year
