circle back
Singer:hiatt, john
was his sidekick rowdy yates?
drove that wagon train out west
right along this interstate
cross the high plains of kansas
spent a lot of sleepless nights 'round the campfire
they had mountains on their minds
they're different somehow
you spent your life leaning into a hard wind
i guess you're less likely to take a bow
all these stories buried out here
like the earthquakes in california
like the hills back in tennessee
but it takes a lot of ground
blowin through my oldest daughter's hair
with everything else i forgot
i drove her out to college
drove back through an empty space
thinkin' back to when she was a baby
tryin' hard to see that face
but it takes a lot of ground
and in four years she'll be gone
they just blow through your life
like the wind on the plains
like the dust that covers everything
'til the rivers fill with rain
but it takes a lot of ground
