Through the Rocky Mountain passes where the Eagle River flows Lightning tells in flashes what the thunder knows Colorado starts to ghost away the rivers turn and run I’m westbound on the highway chasin' down the sun (C) Runnin' through the granite hills running through the pines Fifteen years behind the wheel are runnin' through my mind Running through the daylight, and through the darkness, too Hoping all this running will bring me back to you I’m winding through the canyons now I’m unraveling the maze The bright lights of the city are blurring in the haze And the great salt flats of Utah are painted rose-pink by the light I’m doing 80 through the sunset to race the coming night (C) Running 'neath the skyscrapers running ‘cross the plains Fifteen hours I've run around in circles in my brain Running through the desert sand in a pair of stolen shoes Hoping all this running will bring me back to you Now the stars are shining down on me like highbeams from the sky The embers of a campfire reflected in my eyes As I lay beneath this bowl of stars a brief wilderness amen I know that when the morning comes I'll be running once again (C) Running through the wildfire Running through the tuff Fifteen days of running and I think I've had enough Running 'neath the sky when I probably should have flew Hoping all this running will bring me back to you

Chasing down a rolling stone I found myself so far from home Like waking up from a dream When you’re not quite sure what it all means (C1) Follow me to the promised land I promise you that I’ll be your man (whoa-oh) Drink with me from the fountain Honey, I love you...or the mountains Sunrise breaks over the hills Burning off the morning chill But in the light love fades away and I’m not sure what I should say, except (C1) Chase each other round in circles, when’s it gonna end? Always hoping a new summit’s waiting round the bend But instead we slipped and fell and now there’s nothing to ascend We’ve tried this climb a thousand times Honey, we’ve tried this climb a thousand times Now it’s time to face what we both know That it’s way past time to go You can sit and wonder why I’ll find my answers in the sky (C2) Don’t follow me, ‘cause I have no plan Now I’m a free but a rambling (wandering/wounded) man You broke my heart, but who’s counting? Honey, I loved you...or the mountains

Somewhere on the highway Near the Washington state line Is a rest stop haunted by the ghost of What I left behind You didn’t meant to hurt me I didn’t have a choice But when I drive by with the windows down I still hear your voice, singing… (ad lib) Every love that dies Lies in a shallow grave And the things that won’t stay buried make it Hard to turn the page So I push the pedal down Till I’m going way too fast Even at ninety miles an hour though I can’t outrun the past (C) Ghosts in my head Ghosts of the highway Ghosts in my head Ghosts of the highway We crossed a continent together From the east into the west And everywhere between our love’s Remains are laid to rest Every time I find a new way And I think I’m moving on I end up on another road That’s haunted by your song (ad lib) I’ve met another girl But every time I say her name I worry that her love will end up Buried just the same I wonder where you are tonight I look up at the sky I hope that you don’t think of me And aren’t still haunted by… (C)

The sun is coming The birds are singing And me, I’m thinking of old beginnings I wish I could Turn back time To when you were mine And I was yours And we weren’t split by all these wars Who is wrong and who is right? Does it matter enough that fight after fight Is justified? Just as all the tears are dried, watch our lives divide As if tearing down can build up, but it can’t Ohhh, but it can’t, fear at work will show you that

Rose and Chris, they loved the road And loved the mountains more But they loved each other the most Then came the storm Chris was out on the trail alone When the world turned black Rose gave Chris to the mountains The mountains didn’t give him back (C) There was ice on the mountain Fire in the sky Wind in the valley Tears in her eyes Em and Jack got married Then they moved into town Jack had never liked the city He didn’t trust the crowd But Emily had a good job So that’s where they stayed And when the car swerved into her lane It was Em who paid (C) I remember how you used to smile How your eyes would shine How you said I would always be yours And you would always be mine But always, it has gone away Flow and ebb, like the waves Remember me with a smile, my dear When you visit my grave (C)

Sunset looks gray from my window I close my eyes, and it burns through my eyelids Like fire Burning the dreams from my head I’m bereft of a reason to face this season without dread numbing my hopes Want to reach out and touch by my fingers are frozen Want to smile and love but my heart is broken In pieces, scattered round on the floor If I went out in the cold, could the world remind me Of what I have lost and how I could find me again Oh, could I bring myself back? Could I follow the sun till its rays turned to gold Till its heat thawed my senses and melted this old fear that’s been crowding my mind? (C) Oh, what would I find if I could just open my eyes? All I want is to be alive Want to reach out and touch by my fingers are frozen Want to smile and love but my heart is broken In pieces, scattered round on the floor I dream now of a day where the sunrise is warm when my heart’s whole again and I’ve weathered this storm It will come soon, I know that it will All I can do is give life a chance Do my best to admit I don’t lead in this dance And smile as I’m swept away (C)

The first day I saw you, the skies opened up and you fell The first day I saw you, I took my first step into hell I looked into those blue eyes and I didn't know what to do but I knew right away that I'd say anything that you asked me to We met for coffee and I pretended it didn't mean a thing but I think we both knew that it meant everything We got married in May and didn't bother with the ceremony We got married so fast I didn't even hear the lies you told me (C) Still I shouldn't have let you go I shouldn't have let you go Oh no Oh no no Oh no Caroline I loved you so much that I thought I'd be enough by myself I never would have guessed that you'd need to have somebody else The first time I caught you it almost broke my heart It was with poor old James in the back of the car in the back of the park After a few more, I should have known we were through Now I know it's all my fault, I could have done so much more for you but back then I blamed you, I said some things I shouldn't have said and then you went away, and since then I've been chasing you round and round in my head (C) So I bought an old car and I drove it towards Kalamazoo because that's where poor old James told me that I could find you I stayed between those lines on the highway for a couple of days In my head I asked for forgiveness in a hundred different ways My windshield was frozen and my lips were dry and cracked I'd been kissing the devil and she'd been kissing me back The wind it was howling and the snow blew as I came into town And I knew right away by the way the moon smiled that you were somewhere around I went to the address poor old James had given to me a busted-up old house and a frozen willow tree You were in the kitchen with red bruises on your face You told me you were sorry, and said we had to leave before it was too late Well I had poor old James's gun with me that cold day in December and when he came through the door, it went off and that's the last thing I remember (C)

I been standing here watchin the leaves turn orange feelin the wind grow colder feelin the year grow older I been thinkin bout the things that I've done wrong the past I can't undo and where I'll go without you (C1) Now it seems all ripped at the seams then was all a dream now I'm awake again I been standing here tryin to find my way tryin to read the signs or find an old friend of mine I been freezin here trees all lost their leaves I lost my coat back somewhere I lost my heart back somewhere (C2) I guess I should have known that we're all just skin and bone now I'm all alone and you're going home I been standing here watchin the snow fall down this year it don't seem the same can't help but think I'm to blame I been hopin that in the morning things'll be better and the wound won't seem quite as deep its too bad I can't fall asleep (C1) I been standing here starin up at a frozen sky I'm afraid as the night winds blow that I won't have nowhere to go I been lonely here wantin to see your face wanna feel your arms around me instead of this cold that surrounds me (C2)

C'mon lady gray Won't you stay just one more day, hey I don't wanna have to miss the way you talk or the way you kiss C'mon lady gray I don't wanna watch you walk away I know I don't have much money but you shouldn't let that bother you too much honey (C) Cause we could both go down Take your car go down to town Hell we could drive around and maybe I'd change your mind around Yeah yeah C'mon lady gray You're turnin me in circles honey every which way You're all I've been thinkin about You're the woman for me no doubt C'mon lady gray Don't change your mind cause I can change my ways Honey I'm tellin you Half those things you heard are less than half true (C) Cause every single day that goes by Its harder and harder to keep you off of my mind Oh honey give me one more try I'll do anything I can just to make you mine Yeah yeah C'mon lady gray Just name the game I'm more than willing to play Just tell me what you want me to do and I'll bend over backwards just to be with you C'mon lady gray I'm livin in fear honey every day I didn't know she was your friend and I swear to god it won't happen again (C) Cause you know that one day you'll look back on this and say that You're so glad you stayed Oh please believe me lady gray Yeah yeah Yeah yeah

There must be ways to fly to reach out and touch the dawn there must be ways to trip and pick yourself up to carry on there must be ways to dance without tripping on your feet there must be ways to dream without twisting in your sheets (C1) But I know the way that wings of wax melt and suddenly I’m plunging down towards the ground it's safer here, but it’s so dark down here I'll just watch and wait and maybe a star will fall there must be ways to love without breaking two hearts there must be ways to come together without falling apart there must be ways to touch without letting go there must be ways to trust without needing (having) to know (C2) Sitting down here, looking at the stars I know your arms could give me wings but I don't deserve the view and I don't deserve you so I'll just watch and wait and maybe a star will fall there must be ways to run that aren’t running away there must be ways to cry that can say what I can't say there must be ways to fly and know you've flown there must be ways to be and not be alone (C1)
