The road ain't getting shorter
And I think the weed is getting stronger
And I'm trying not to speak
To no one who don't care

I'm spinning around in a whirlpool of letters
That run in a circle and try to break free in my mind

And I know I'm still young
But I can only get older
And I know that sometimes
I hurt you and I'm gone

Well, it's a story as old as the fire that brought us together
You think that we'd learn but you still remain

In the back of my mind
Eating up all my time
Hanging weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Everyday I get stoned
I simply try to write a song
The road is like a river
That sings when I'm alone

I'm sitting beside a window of light
That floods in my eyes and keeps me from finding mine

If I stayed home
I'd only wish I was gone
Wanting you with me
But knowing that you can't come

You've seen all the charms of this crazy old life
And you'd just as soon leave 'em behind as you'd never leave me

In the back of my mind
Eating up all my time
Hanging weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Looking for some peace of mind
Like an angel with no place to fly
