Album: Woodland (2024)

  • Once I saw your old familiar face
    I was walking in a new watering place
    Been a little lost for a little while
    People sometimes go out of style
    Make a new habit, have new kid
    Maybe both, God forbid

    But all at once you seemed to know
    The very thing that laid me low
    Caught it like a new form of the flu
    Chalked it up to our old friend the blues
    The questions and the answers you'd found
    Talked me out of that breakdown

    You said, time makes the wheels spin
    And the years roll out and the doubt rolls in
    In the truck stops, in the parking lots
    And the cheap motels

    When will we become ourselves?
    When will we become ourselves?
    When will we become ourselves?

    You laughed and said the news would be bad
    If I ever saw your name with a hashtag
    Singers like you and I
    Are only news when we die
    So here I'm sitting 'round another night
    Looking at your boots, Jesus Christ

    That's some mighty big ones to try to fill
    Never can and never will
    So here's another song that's over now
    You're another sun that done gone down
    Put another good one in the ground
    Good Lord, it's going 'round

    Now let the wheels spin and the tears roll out
    And the tributes roll in
    In the truck stops, in the parking lots
    And the cheap hotels

    When will we become ourselves?
    When will we become ourselves?
    When will we become ourselves? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
