lyrics

Who to root for, where to set a match
Soft wood on the ground, it'll all burn too fast

But the big trees, line the old roads
To my aims, and my intents, and all those things that make one whole

Now I'm moving on again, trying to make space
Said a few hello's, goodbyes and see you down the ways
Though this advice is heavy, it'll do somebody good
I had promised I would carry it, so carry it I would

Just counting the steeples, at the end of this drive
Why can’t I at the same place, buy liquor, beer, and wine

What of the old town, when the new highway is cut, can't tell
Who decides, who makes out, who has to settle up

Now I'm moving on again, trying to make space
Said a few hello's, goodbyes and see you down the ways
Though this device is heavy, I won't leave it where I stood
I had promised I would carry it, so carry it I would

Into a crowded room, nobody here I get
No time for formalities, I haven't picked 'em up yet

Man asks how to get along in this high atmosphere
They told me, don't mind him, we lose a couple every year

Now I'm moving on again, trying to make space
Said a few hello's, goodbyes and see you down the ways
Though this life is heavy, mama told me to make good
I had promised I would carry it, so carry it I would
