Lyrics

BACK AGAIN FROM GONE

Standin' at the Crossroads
Lookin' for a sign
Makin' a quick decision
Wish it wasn't mine

Wishin' away a collision
Of space and time (x2)

Travelin' down the same road
Once upon a time
Prayin' for intervention
Tryin' to toe the line

Laughin' in the face of danger
Every single time (x2)

(chorus)
Keep your head held high
Screw your hat down tight
Just make sure
That your karma's right

It's a mighty godawful hitchhike
Back again from gone (x2)

Criss crossin' the backroads
Lookin' for a sign
Dustin' off the backroads
Just to kill the time

Crossin' my eyes and my fingers
Drinkin' bright moonshine (x2)

In the end there's only one road
Anyone can take
Starts with a ray of daylight
Ends in a 6-foot grave

Livin' your life and forgivin'
What you never forgave (x2)

When you make your way
Down the road you're on
Never look back
At the way you've come

I'ts a mighty godawful hitchhike
Back again from gone (x2, vamp)
