about

Co-written with Rob Repass.

lyrics

Clocked out late and the interstate was a parkin' lot again
Late night radio same old same old got me in a spin

It's gettin' hard to breathe
This city life is killin' me

I'm goin' up in the mountains down to earth
Gettin' back to who I am
Mist in the pines and the mornin' sunshine
Livin' in the promised land

Liftin' up my altitude
It's like a dream that's comin' true

Sittin' by a waterfall tryin' to forget it all
Let my mind run free
Do a little fishin' and some shootin' star wishin'
Listen to the birds in the trees

Where the honeysuckle grows
Country comfort take it slow

Caught up in the struggle of the concrete jungle sirens everywhere
Tradin' my suit for an old tin roof and an antique rocking chair

Like a whisper in the breeze
I know where I need to be

Clocked out late and the interstate was a parkin' lot again
Late night radio same old same old got me in a spin
