A Packed Suitcase
I cross the willamette on a starless winter night
Portland fades as she's dancing across my mind
When she'd hold the bottle close, and i'd wish that it were me.
She'd say 'the liquor works much quicker' than i'll my whispering.
And I feel so far away
from the love that her and I once made.
But I learned to shoulder all my burdens
and Hide those crosses that I bear.
Her figure dancing in the moonlight,
with those flowers in her hair.
When the first morning light falls
on the windswept carolinas
under an old oak tree with a tire swing
is where I go to find her.
When I feel so far away
from the love that her and I once made.
So I buried my heart on the interstate
fueled by the fire our love once made.
My soul free of the tug-of-war
and I'm stuck wondering what was it all for
when I feel, so far away.
Oh I feel so far away.
I watch the earth pass my foot heavy on the gas.

She learned all about love from a T.V. screen
all those rock and roll songs and shattered dreams.
Her hearts been broken so many times
it keeps healing itself, a little less right.
She's got a chip on her shoulder and ace up her sleeve
everything she needed to destroy me.
Never needed more than those emerald eyes,
a packed suitcase, and the words 'good' 'bye.'
So watch me bury my heart on the interstate
fueled by the fire our love once made.
My soul free of the tug-of-war
and I'm stuck wondering what was it all for
when I feel, so far away.
Oh I feel so far away.
I watch the earth pass my foot heavy on the gas.
Under the shadow of the mountains that we fell in love
over the river and the walls my hearts put up
dancing in the breeze, beckoning spring,
no one there to witness just her and me
I feel so far away
Oh a feel so far away.
