Great Divide

I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room
Float my way 'cross the great divide and be buried in you
I been lookin' far and wide for what I gotta prove
And puttin' peaks in my rearview

Well it's colder here than anyone told me the South could get
And I took to stayin' up real late and smokin' cigarettes
The cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did
And I'm left lookin' at the glowing ends

But am I too far gone
To be running home?
'Cause I’m longin' tonight
To be somewhere across that great divide

I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words
The only way to bein' found is gettin' lost at first
But all I find are more bridges to burn

So am I too far gone
To be running home?
'Cause I'm longin' tonight
To be somewhere across that great divide

(Oooohhh)

Well the highway has way of playin' tricks on tired eyes
I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night
Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind
The only thing worth gettin' right

So am I too far gone?
'Cause I'm running home
If only in my mind
I am somewhere across that great divide
