I’m a long way from where I used to be
The blacktop of the highway, ran out at the sea
The road map is crumpled
It serves no use to me
Cause where I’m going next
Is the only place to be

These wheels will take me homeward
On down the coast I drive
They’ve taken me so far away 
And let me feel alive
They don’t mind the distance
No matter where I roam
When I’m good and ready
These wheels will take me home

Filled up in Fort Bragg and grabbed a cup of Joe 
Smell of the salty air tingling my nose
Threw out the road map
Cause I already know
Highway 1 will lead me
Right where I want to go

These wheels will take me homeward
On down the coast I drive
They’ve taken me so far away 
And let me feel alive
They don’t mind the distance
No matter where I roam
When I’m good and ready
These wheels will take me home

Take Me Home 4

I’m going
Going  west
Gotta carry this load for them

All the people
They don’t see their weight 
And they throw it aside
For some other beast that’s moving down the line
West 

You’re gonna hear me
Oh, hear me growling
Growling in the dead heat of day

I’m traveling 
Traveling fast
Wheels grinding on steel tracks

Running on steam
Some don’t see at all
As the blur goes by
One day I’ll rest my eyes but right now
I’m traveling

You’re gonna hear me
Oh, hear me howling
 Howling in the cold stretch of night

I’ve seen it all
Open plains and cities great and small
Many names are tattooed on my walls
I’m no stranger 
You’ll remember when you hear my call

Your gonna hear me
Oh, hear me howling
Echoes in your dreams

Carry This Load

Without want, would you need
What, without you, would I be

Without chords, would I play
What, without words, would I say

It takes a while to figure out mistakes
Feeling good is a great escape
Hold me now
I’m coming down

For all that is, and what shall be
What, without space, would hold all things

For all that was, and what might h ave been
Always without, implies within

All the while I think of my mistakes
Even the ones I’d never make
Slow it down
I’m burning out
