Watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier When I got the news today I didn't know what to say. So I just hung up the phone. I took a walk to clear my head, This is where the walking lead

Gonna drift to the great wide open Gonna set my spirit free Won't stop till I reach the ocean Gonna break these chains holding me Gonna swim in the coldest river Gonna drink from a mountain spring Deep in the land of the great wide open And let the water

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom That sunset river bank first time feeling Wait, baby, don't move, right there it is T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch

I've been thinking about Setting my house on fire Can't see a way out of the mess I'm in And the bills keep getting higher All I need is a match and a gallon of gas God I'm getting tired Gonna set this house on fire Going off the deep end

Be scared or be brave Wounded and tired and worried Memories are everything Reminiscing is for the living Pain is setting in We're sinking further Escape into thin air It's like fighting an invisible enemy What lies ahead you thought you'd never see

The snow fell hard on a frozen sea Far beyond the ice and snow Our voyage carries on For blood and gold, we sold our souls Redemption lies at Magnetic North Set the course for Magnetic North Beyond the snow to Magnetic North On the quest for Magnetic

Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name I set fire to the rain Let it burn That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say They were never true, never true

In the next life This time forever There'll be no more goodbyes 'Cause you left me helpless on the other side I'll find you there in the next life The sun is set, the rain has passed Who knew tomorrow wouldn't last I wear the cross that bares your name

Every time you look at me that way It never fails Any time, any place This burn in me is the coolest thing that I've ever felt When you light those candles Up there on that mantle Setting the mood I just lie there staring, silently preparing

Playing (playing with the boys) Playing, playing with the boys One of life's simple joys Bodies working overtime Staying, playing with the boys After chasing sunsets Is playing with the boys I've seen enough I'd say it was the right time
