Before I'm Gone

walking down these roads again
on paths of stone and sage
the roads are running through my veins
and spilling on the page
talking to myself again
been sleeping on the floor
the road is coming to an end,
been down it once before
and I’ll try to find my way
before I’m gone again
and I’ll try to find my way
before I’m gone again
before I’m gone, I’ll show you
what it means to be alive
I’ll pack some clothes and this guitar,
get in the car, and drive
I won’t stop there, I promise you
with all that I can give
before I’m gone, I’ll look back
and I’ll know that I had lived
the days all blend together
and it’s lonely on these roads
breathe the air into my lungs
so you can bring me home
the sunset is behind me
now I’m heading to the shore
just a few more nights alone,
and I’ll be headed north
