Closer To You |
| Missouri’s tied together like a rolling rag rug |
| Bit and pieces and necessity and love |
| You can sense the proud and working dirt poor |
| Clean and pressed like Sunday shirt but edge worn |
| Chorus: You think by now we’d be a little further on |
| For all this tumbling we’ve been through |
| As I’m leaving Missouri into Southern Illinois |
| I feel like I’m finally getting closer to you |
| When women look for answer then learn to listen and sit still |
| Men think they’ve got to take some kind of stand |
| Yet we’re drawn together like magnet to magnet |
| Spend years trying to explain again |
| Chorus: You think by now we’d be a little further on |
| For all this tumbling we’ve been through |
| As I’m leaving Missouri into Southern Illinois |
| I feel like I’m finally getting closer to you |
| There’s a photo on the table of my family and me |
| Taken in some studio in 1963 |
| The faces are familiar but I can’t tell you why |
| Most families nod and then they sigh |
| Chorus: You think by now we’d be a little further on |
| For all this tumbling we’ve been through |
| As I’m leaving Missouri into Southern Illinois |
| I feel like I’m finally getting closer to you |
| When I get healed I’m gonna be a healer |
| That’s just the nature of those things |
| We don’t exist in any solid form |
| We’re always moving and changing |
| Chorus: You think by now we’d be a little further on |
| For all this tumbling we’ve been through |
| As I’m leaving Missouri into Southern Illinois |
| I feel like I’m finally getting closer to you |
