7,000 Miles

Suddenly thankful for everything I have,
I took for granted my blessings, ignored my path
Satisfied now to take it one step at a time,
I was running headlong without asking why
Ch.
7,000 miles not a second too late
I was going a bit crazy, had to get away
Cross half the country in a Lincoln alone
I had to find out if I cared at all
(If I cared at all)
V.
Saw a cowboy ride, bear tracks in the Rocky Mountain snow
Buffalo and antelope
Broke down in a hick town
Laughed and cried about what I heard pass a white man’s mouth
The winds were strong enough to kill me
When lightning struck the fires were brilliant
I’ve never seen so many stars in my life
Never had the time to care about the night
Ch.

Sometimes we’d drive, my best friend and I
Watching the prairie storms and laughing about life
Together laying our worries to rest
At the feet of some loving spirit that’d tell us we’d done our best
The sky was big enough to hold me
Every piece of my soul, belonging was easy
And the land just rolled away
I was a part of the puzzle, I found my place
Ch.
