Turns On a Dime
Forty-five miles outside of Stockton On the highway he walks through the night Hoping for a ride clear to Austin Where is brother said his mother is dying He's a long way from home, he's been gone a long time A man's life can turn on a dime He's seen it before if he's seen it just once Watch the sun break on a thin red line
From L.A. all the way up to Pasco No direct route just move on some more He always arrives when it's just time go Like friends cross to that other shore Pick fruit in the orchards, run timber downstream Kick back till the times get too lean He's seen it before if he's seen it just once Too much money gonna make you unclean
Take 99 south to the end of the line And I'll shut my eyes on the way Then from Phoenix to Midland, the great Texas north Roll in to town close of day Who knows, I might even stay
When he drifts off the dreams pass before him Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Of a childhood that's almost just right Of a small sleepy town and a steady west wind Where the sun sets and burns off its light He's a stranger here, a stranger there If you see him at all you just stare He's seen it all before if he's seen it just once And it's been damn near too much to bear
The skyline shows up with the morning His heart race ahead with the time Then he slows down and stops without warning Draws a cool breath and turns on a dime He's too far from home, just a few miles away His mother passed just before day He's seen it before if he's seen it just once You don't show up you can't ever stay
Take 99 south to the end of the line And I'll shut my eyes on the way Then from Phoenix to Midland, the great Texas north Roll in to town close of day But this time I don't think I'll stay
