As our fortunes come to find - our hands
And our worried bones fall back - into place
We’ve been chasing fire and wind - for too long
Now it’s time to make some space - of our own
Let's make some space, of our own
We could try and change the way – things burn
Or take a little step outside – and stay warm
Either way, to me you’re my friend
I’ll see you in the space we’ve made – in the end
Let's make some space, of our own...

Why don’t you,
go down to find out
what it’s all about
Why don’t you
go down to cleanse your soul
and wash it out
Cause it’s a good day to live
And it’s a good day to die
When all our trials and tribulations have been
Wrung out to dry
Go down, go down son
and cleanse your worried mind
Why don’t you,
dip your head
into that wet
Why don’t you,
holler back at me
if it makes you sweat
Cause it’s a good day to live
And it’s a good day to die
When the words of our beloved have been
Held up on high
Go down… and cleanse your worried mind
Well I’m startin to feel,
a little hot under the skin
I’m bout to put our holy robes,
and jump right in
Cause it’s a good day to live
And it’s a good day to die
When we can drown all our sins
And come
back alive
So go down and cleanse your worried mind...
Well I woke up in a hotel room with my baby on my mind
I’ve been travelin’ on this lonely road so long I’ve lost the time
She’s been waitin and a wonderin and a wishin me home
I’ve been starin at her pictures on my phone
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
Yes I marked this day on my heart and soul so many long weeks ago
It’s true we chat online sometimes, but it makes me want to see her more
She’s been hopin and a hurtin and a holdin on
Smellin my t-shirts while I’ve been gone
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
---
Well the day has come and I’m on my way to see the love of my life
Once I feel her in my arms again, everything’s gonna be alright
---
She’s been yearnin and a burnin and churnin inside
I’ve been waitin forever to be by her side
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
We’ve been textin all day talkin bout what we’ll do when we meet again
My body’s trembling and my hearts on fire I can’t wait to feel her skin
She’s been heavin and a’ breathin and callin my name
I said damn baby girl you got me goin insane
I’m just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight
---
Well I gotta catch my plane in Terminal 3 and then I’ll be flyin high
Another five hours up in the air and then a midnight taxi ride
----
She’s been thinkin so hard what she’s gonna do
I said it don’t matter honey, I just want you
I’m just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight
Yeah my seatbelt’s already off as the taxi rounds that final bend
With the windows down and my spirits up, my journey has come to an end
Now she’s looking at me longingly coming up the road
I drop my bags into her arms I go
I finally made it home to see my baby tonight
---
Well I tell you my man the lovin this woman is givin me is oh so good
I just might pack my bags again and hit the road if I only could
---
Cause everytime I leave she loves me more
The best kisses I get are when I walk through the door
Gonna head out today and see my baby tonight
I got canyon powder all over my shirt
seven dollars to my name
Both my boots are filled with dirt
and I’m cold as hell
It’s a, long way back to Shonto – but I’m ready to ride
I’m gonna eat those miles for breakfast – and chase them down with the wind
Nobody knows where I am,
To tell you the truth, neither do I
I haven’t seen a single sign, or a soul for days
It’s a, long way back to Shonto – and I’m ready to ride
I’m gonna kiss the first face I see – if I make it back alive
If I could drink the sweat running down my cheeks I would
If I could eat the dirt clinging to my skin I would
It’s a long way back to Shonto – but I’m ready to ride
I got the devil nippin at my heels, no angles by my side
If I could drink the sweat running down my cheeks I would
If I could eat the dirt clinging to my skin I would
Yeah it’s a, long way back to Shonto – and I’m ready to ride
I’m gonna keep on riding these old canyon roads till the day I die
Growing Up And Growing Down
LYRICS
Coming back to my home town
back to the start of the road
Growing up and growing down
it’s is all I really know
As my circle comes to gather round me
and my feet, find the ground
I’ve been growing up for far too long
now it’s time to start growing down
The same tunes call out from the radio, but no one seems to mind
All my shoes are right where I left em, the clocks keep tickin time
The world turns but that house stands still
that eastern wind still blows
Growing up and growing down
it’s all I really know
I’ve found a million ways to lose myself
but here I know my way around
I’ve been growing up for far too long
now it’s time to start growing down
Coming back to my hometown, back to the start of the road
Growing up and growing down, it’s all I really know
Yeah it’s all I really know, this house is all I really know,
Well life ain’t long enough to see it all
we’ve got to find our hollowed ground
I’ve been growin up for far too long
now it’s time to start growin down
