Lyrics
There’s a girl in this town, folks think she’s still a kid
Cause they seen her running round, they know everything she did
But she’s got dreams and a guitar, gonna take ‘em on the road
Cause nothin’ in this whole wide world can settle a restless soul
I need a good wind
On a night when the stars align
I need a fast friend
To help me on down the line
The sun out in the distance
And a whisper in my ear
Sayin’ what are we doing, what are we doing here
The promise of tomorrow
Has never felt so near
The road is calling, what are we doing here
There’s a song about leaving, a song about coming home
There’s a song about grieving when you’re feeling all alone
There’s a song to break your heart in two, and one to make it whole
Cause nothin’ in this whole wide world can settle a restless soul
I need a long road
Leading me somewhere I know
Running a light load
Finally ready to go
The sun out in the distance
And a whisper in my ear
Sayin’ what are we doing, what are we doing here
The promise of forgiveness
Has never felt so near
And home is calling, what are we doing here
