Oh, I put a penny on a railroad track Can't take it back Who'd wanna take it back But these kids Keep on wishing for a different town Or a different time Anything but here Anything but now Chorus: Tall grass and winding roads That's where the story grows I'm skipping over my stepping stones Dead leaves and dried up goals Pass with the wind that blows I'm skipping over my stepping stones No, I ain't trying to get a thing for free Like too much cake At someone else's birthday But in between waking up and going back to sleep There is no rhyme Just trying to buy more free time Well the beggars can't be choosers Till they pay their debts That's why I'm doing what I do I'll take what I can get (Repeat Chorus) You travelled out to sea With a heart so wild and free But your biting on the hooks Of the doubters dirty looks Always in transition Endless intermission A trap, a lie, just to occupy your time (Repeat Chorus) I am here and you are here We are now and we are happening
