Lean into the Blue

Fired one up on the straight-a-way side of Tennessee Tried to shake the voices in my head Never been one for long goodbyes it seems Some things are easier done than said It's been a ride, oh it's been a rough damn ride Barely a dollar to my name 40 something reasons to give up on a feeling But I've come too far to turn away So if it's all the same to you, I think I'll see it through Breaks they come and go, we may miss a few So if this is where we part I guess, there ain't nothing left But to smile and turn into the wind, lean in to the blue Take it around again I can still recall all them wined and wasted nights On the red clay riverbanks back home Moonlight on the waterside How it flashed and shined just like jukebox chrome Lord knows I appreciate that memory I'm just fine to leave the past right where it fell And these unfamiliar city streets Don't they tend to suit me just as well So if it's all the same to you, I think I'll see it through Breaks they come and go, we may miss a few So if this is where we part I guess, there ain't nothing left But to smile and turn into the wind, lean in to the blue Take it around again When my boots, my boots no longer carry me And they come to lay my body down My spirit's bound to keep running free Oh you'll see it headed for the edge of town Let my mama know I'm happy now Tell my dad I done my best Send me out on that night line flying It runs Charleston south to Charleston west So if it's all the same to you, I think I'll see it through Breaks they come and go, we may miss a few So if this is where we part I guess, there ain't nothing left But to smile and turn into the wind, lean in to the blue Take it around again Turn into the wind, lean into the blue, until we come around again
