Natural To Be Gone
You don't know me where I live
My tracks may soon go everywhere
Because there ain't no other place for them to go
Where I dwell outside of now
For me that's really hard to say
Like sometimes I'm not really sure I even know
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
What crazy patterns do we follow
Sittin' knee to knee upon some riverbank
Somewhere at suppertime?
The evenin' air is movin' like molasses
Towards sticky night
So easy as I as I press your hand in mine
You seem a little colder
When I say I must be leavin'
What an ugly way for us to let it end
What's the use in bein' worried
'Cause I'm goin' in an hour
When the time is runnin' out
That we could spend
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
There's no season in my mind
That I can count on for an answer
I've dug too many holes expectin' snow
I'm not sure to where I'm headed
How I'll ride and who I'm with
If I'll return or when I think that I might go
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
My tracks may soon go everywhere
Because there ain't no other place for them to go
Where I dwell outside of now
For me that's really hard to say
Like sometimes I'm not really sure I even know
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
What crazy patterns do we follow
Sittin' knee to knee upon some riverbank
Somewhere at suppertime?
The evenin' air is movin' like molasses
Towards sticky night
So easy as I as I press your hand in mine
You seem a little colder
When I say I must be leavin'
What an ugly way for us to let it end
What's the use in bein' worried
'Cause I'm goin' in an hour
When the time is runnin' out
That we could spend
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
There's no season in my mind
That I can count on for an answer
I've dug too many holes expectin' snow
I'm not sure to where I'm headed
How I'll ride and who I'm with
If I'll return or when I think that I might go
What's the difference bein' different
When it's difference now that looks alike
You say I'm changin', I'm not sure that's wrong
It's just the centerline on this highway
Runs up my guitar neck
And I feel somehow that it's natural to be gone
