Lyrics
Real Far
©2004 by Jim Huffman
The sky knows no distance
The sun is just another star
You take up this notion
And you pack up the old car
You pry at the pieces of the puzzle
You try to unravel---real hard
You want to travel, to travel,
To travel, to travel real far
The pieces of your journey
Give oceans of meaning so far
The highways and byways, and sky ways
Are strummed on your guitar
There?s justice and truths in the swinging
Of the Almighty Judges gavel?
You want to travel, to travel,
To travel, to travel real far
The floundering, the grounding
The sounding, that?s pounding in your ear
The whine of the tires
As they grind on down the road.
You mistook the question in my eye
As yet another shooting --- star
You want to travel, to travel,
To travel, to travel real far
No matter where you take it to
No matter who you know
No matter what the circumstance
You want to pack it up and go, go, go.
