lyrics

Verse
Night shade moves across your body
The sun is rising again
The broken cars on the tired freeway
Scrape the earth with their skin
The water’s cold to shave my face
As dawn bleeds out on the floor
I kiss your cheek and I wrap your hand
And we slide out of the door

Chorus
Cause we gonna ride, through the Mississippi Delta in overdrive
We gonna fly, leave the dust of these Western skies
We gonna ride, through the Mississippi Delta in overdrive
Cause we gonna find, the forgotten lands that we lost in time
and the lives we left behind

Verse
The frozen road casts a shadow
The hills like hallowed ghosts
The ribbons that once marked the land here
Have all blown off their posts
All the winter birds have stayed behind
Foretelling our return to the east
So,I keep my eyes on the treeline
And my mind on the coming feast

Chorus
We gonna ride, through the Mississipi Delta in overdrive
We gonna fly, leave the dust of these Western skies
We gonna ride, let the ash of memory be our guide
Cause we gonna find, the forgotten lands that we lost in time
and the dreams we left behind

Bridge:
I should have listened to the whispers in my heart
I should have listened to your call
I should have recognized when your faith it fell apart
but I know how to regain it all

Chorus
We gonna ride, through the Mississipi Delta in overdrive
We gonna fly, leave the dust of these Western skies
We gonna ride, through the Mississippi Delta in overdrive
Cause we gonna find, the forgotten lands that we lost in time
and love we left behind
