lyrics

Well I bought a taste of freedom
and I paid my state of mind.
Well let’s put some mileage on this engine,
cross a few state lines.

I may not make this Winter,
And I surely won’t this way.
But I hear there’s warmer weather,
A few motel rooms away.

Well I’m sure it felt like Autumn,
when you were coming down last May,
but you got clean for the Summer,
and I overdosed on escape.

Now that I’ve finally learned
from punishment I cannot bear,
I cannot say I wasn’t warned.
I cannot say it wasn’t fair.

And now that I’m off scot free,
I’ve lost the words to even lie.
So here I sit in silence,
Guilty and tongue-tied.

It still feels like December,
even with the Spring winds this strong.
I know I can’t run forever,
but I can’t stay here long.
No I can’t stay here long.
