Behind the wheel against the road
Next to you is central coast
The central thought within my mind

Is how to stay within these lines, but still be free

Beneith the ground the giants sleep and maybe we're just in their dreams

The setting sun with every turn
F#
Above the ground the oak trees burn
F# B E
And they wheep, for rain
B F# B E
And for this endless conversation

Instigated by the stars

A pocket knife and no guitar
Coffee cup a deck of cards

dashboard feet

Flashlight children by the streem

A box of books

A book of rocks
One for the birds
One for the knots

The owl will learn how to turn around this day to keep my life

From sliding away

A little word to keep it perdy

The first awake will stoke the coals
The early morning river roads
