By the time I get ahead of this mess, I'll be in my grave
You can try to help me, darling
There ain't much left to save
Drifter loses all direction from the place they call their home
By the time the snow is falling
We'll be on mountain standard time
With an old road map and a little bit of grass
Hoping we can outrun them through Salina
You might never lose direction from the place you call your home
There's a little old man in the back of that coffee shop
on Birchwood with his pen and his paper
and I wonder what he'd say
I ain't proud of the way I treated you
Maybe you'll forgive me one day
Might come a time I'm chasing after you
Trying not to lose you in the haze
If that's true, I hope you'll wait for me
and all the things I learned from all those many days
All those pictures in the front room, blueprints on the wall
How that side door looked so far from the street
and even further from the hall
The house had been there longer than anyone
Been there long enough to know
I hope you find yourself barefoot in the sand
Surrounded by those you love the most
And I hope you never lose direction
from the place you call your home
I hope you never lose direction
from the place you call your home
