lyrics
One for the road
One for you and me
Are you a dream?
I can hardly speak
The Kern River, river valley, in my rear view mirror
Whispers softly
Breezes carry you back to me
I'm leaving you Independence
Will we pass this way again?
It’s a long way down from Independence
Still I’m gonna miss you
Still I’m gonna miss you
I never meant to turn this way, but something drew me near
Must be where the stars converge, and light beyond their years
Bella bella, Lake Isabella, in my rear view mirror
Sending us deeper, into the ether
Transcend us here
I'm leaving you Independence
Will we pass this way again?
It’s a long way down from Independence
Still I’m gonna miss you
Still I’m gonna miss you
Coda:
No___________(I would never desert you)
Turning back ______________ (never entered my mind)
Every road keeps pulling me
(like a selfless surrender to me – no one could measure everything)
Closer to everything
Everything everything
One for you and me
Are you a dream?
I can hardly speak
The Kern River, river valley, in my rear view mirror
Whispers softly
Breezes carry you back to me
I'm leaving you Independence
Will we pass this way again?
It’s a long way down from Independence
Still I’m gonna miss you
Still I’m gonna miss you
I never meant to turn this way, but something drew me near
Must be where the stars converge, and light beyond their years
Bella bella, Lake Isabella, in my rear view mirror
Sending us deeper, into the ether
Transcend us here
I'm leaving you Independence
Will we pass this way again?
It’s a long way down from Independence
Still I’m gonna miss you
Still I’m gonna miss you
Coda:
No___________(I would never desert you)
Turning back ______________ (never entered my mind)
Every road keeps pulling me
(like a selfless surrender to me – no one could measure everything)
Closer to everything
Everything everything
