For My Mind, It Was Flying
Lyrics
I can't tell anymore, but I'm straining.
There's a voice on the breeze and it's pleading.
Her name's caught on my lips
but I have to admit
there's no room in my heart for this feeling.

I can tell this old road's been good for my soul.
Even though I feel pangs for letting her go.
She thought I should stay
I said, "It's better this way."
At least that's what I thought when I left her.

I know that she gave it all to me.
And everyone wondered where my mind could be.
But I didn't have words
or the time to explain,
for my mind it was flying, toward the great plains.

So I look to the stars in the sky.
And the trees floating past on this westbound freight line.
I know that I'm selfish
and there's just me to blame,
but I'll make it up to her when I come back some day.
