I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
Philly by the morning and ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can’t hold on too tight
Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
And everyone thinks they know me now
In these close minded leave me towns
But I’m too young to even know myself
There’s wheels running down the interstate
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
There’s time ticking on the interstate
And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
And I’ll my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
they talk to me like I am still that kid
The fighting, fiendin Okie son
The restless, reckless, hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I really have to go
There’s wheels running down the interstate
Lord I’ll wait another day cuz I ain’t close to you
There’s time ticking on the interstate
I’m fighting fate
And lord I hate that I ain’t close to you
I’m cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I’m willing but I cannot keep you girl
Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that’s what morning are for
