Circle Back - John Hiatt[00:00:00]
Ward Bond[00:00:12]
Was his sidekick rowdy Yates[00:00:13]
Drove that wagon train out west[00:00:17]
Right along this interstate[00:00:20]
'Cross the high plains of Kansas[00:00:23]
To the Colorado line[00:00:26]
Spent a lot of sleepless nights 'round the campfire[00:00:28]
They had mountains on their minds[00:00:32]
Well those high plains people[00:00:35]
They're different somehow[00:00:37]
You spent your life leaning into a hard wind[00:00:40]
I guess you're less likely to take a bow[00:00:43]
All these stories buried out here[00:00:46]
They're calling to me[00:00:49]
Like the earthquakes in California[00:00:52]
Like the hills back in Tennessee[00:00:55]
I gotta circle back and touch something near[00:00:57]
Find out which way to go just to get on out of here[00:01:03]
I lost my thread and I've lost some time[00:01:09]
But it takes a lot of ground for me[00:01:15]
To change my mind[00:01:18]
Well it's ninety nine in Topeka[00:01:27]
The wind is blowin' hot[00:01:29]
Blowin' through my oldest daughter's hair[00:01:32]
With everything else I forgot[00:01:35]
I drove her out to college[00:01:38]
Drove back through an empty space[00:01:41]
Thinkin' back to when she was a baby[00:01:44]
Tryin' hard to see that face[00:01:47]
I gotta circle back and touch something near[00:01:49]
Find out which way to go[00:01:55]
Just to get on out of here[00:01:58]
Well I lost my thread and I've lost some time[00:02:01]
But it takes a lot of ground for me[00:02:07]
To change my mind[00:02:11]
Two kids up and at 'em[00:02:36]
One more left at home[00:02:38]
She's a spark plug a real fire cracker[00:02:41]
And in four years she'll be gone[00:02:44]
They just blow through your life[00:02:47]
Like the wind on the plains[00:02:49]
Like the dust that covers everything[00:02:52]
'Til the rivers fill with rain[00:02:55]
I gotta circle back and touch something near[00:02:58]
Find out which way to go[00:03:04]
Just to get on out of here[00:03:07]
Well I lost my thread and I've lost some time[00:03:10]
But it takes a lot of ground for me[00:03:16]
To change my mind[00:03:19]
Ohh yeah I got to circle back[00:03:27]
I got to circle back[00:03:32]
I got to circle back[00:03:52]
I got to got to got to got to got to[00:03:55]
Got to got to got to circle back[00:04:00]
