| I can see the shoreline
|
| And I feel the wind in my hair
|
| Got my motor running
|
| And my hands hold on the wheel
|
| Driving to the sunset
|
| With my baby by my side
|
| Hear the notes of freedom
|
| Sounds so good to these old ears
|
| My mind was numb from working over time
|
| I never really found a reason why
|
| Those days seem to be over, they're over
|
| I found a way, I found a new life
|
| Left behind the past, the trail of tears
|
| I found a way, I found a new life
|
| No more walking the same old trail of tears
|
| I was down on my luck
|
| I was torn, I was blind
|
| Reaching for the bottle
|
| Drank my sorrows, sank my pain
|
| I still recall the darkest night of the year
|
| And the face in the mirror
|
| A stranger staring back at me
|
| Then there was you, an angel from above
|
| I felt your fire burning deep inside
|
| You just saw right through me, right through me
|
| It was a matter of life and Death
|
| I couldn’t set myself free
|
| Now you control my destiny
|
| I don’t wanna go back, go back to yesterday |
