Circle Back |
| Ward Bond |
| Was his sidekick rowdy Yates |
| Drove that wagon train out west |
| Right along this interstate |
| 'Cross the high plains of Kansas |
| To the Colorado line |
| Spent a lot of sleepless nights 'round the campfire |
| They had mountains on their minds |
| Well, those high plains people |
| They’re different somehow |
| You spent your life leaning into a hard wind |
| I guess, you’re less likely to take a bow |
| All these stories buried out here |
| They’re calling to me |
| Like the earthquakes in California |
| Like the hills back in Tennessee |
| I gotta circle back and touch something near |
| Find out which way to go just to get on out of here |
| I lost my thread and I’ve lost some time |
| But it takes a lot of ground for me to change my mind |
| Well, it’s ninety nine in Topeka |
| The wind is blowin' hot |
| Blowin' through my oldest daughter’s hair |
| With everything else I forgot |
| I drove her out to college |
| Drove back through an empty space |
| Thinkin' back to when she was a baby |
| Tryin' hard to see that face |
| I gotta circle back and touch something near |
| Find out which way to go just to get on out of here |
| Well, I lost my thread and I’ve lost some time |
| But it takes a lot of ground for me to change my mind |
| Two kids up and at 'em |
| One more left at home |
| She’s a spark plug, a real fire cracker |
| And in four years she’ll be gone |
| They just blow through your life |
| Like the wind on the plains |
| Like the dust that covers everything |
| 'Til the rivers fill with rain |
| I gotta circle back and touch something near |
| Find out which way to go just to get on out of here |
| Well, I lost my thread and I’ve lost some time |
| But it takes a lot of ground for me to change my mind |
| Ohh, yeah, I got to circle back |
| I got to circle back, I got to circle back |
| I got to, got to, got to, got to, got to |
| Got to, got to, got to circle back |
