Did you ever wander far from home?

Far from what is safe and comfortable?
C G Am
Trading all your demons for the moon
F C G
And sleeping till the sun makes it all true

I don't know how long I've been gone
C
I can't say when I'll get home
G
I'll keep my engine clean and strong
Am
And run this soul where it belongs

Somewhere I can hear a lonesome train
F C G
Burning in a direction I can't name

Off the beaten path we all know best
F
I don't know how long I've been gone
C
I can't say when I'll get home
G
I'll keep my engine clean and strong
Am
And run this soul where it belongs

Maybe I'm just spinning wheels

of living on the edge until

It's time for the bedroll

It's time for the bedroll
C G
until the ember's gone...

Ohhh oh oh...
