Vocal Group Of The Decade lyrics

I tied my bandana I took my pack from the floor
And you were still sleeping as I stood at the door
Once more I was headed to God only knows where
That's when it hit me I was already there
I could ramble a thousand miles or more
I never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
But you gave me much more you gave me the freedom to stay

I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in paytoday
And I know how much she wanted that dress in Baker's window
And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait
And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate
But I count on her today with a smile and not a frown
She knows that life has its little ups and downs like ponies on a merry-go-round

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin

People say I'm acting kinda strange my friends all tell me how I've changed
I'm laughing and dancing singing happy songs just joking and carrying on
They say they see a change in me I'm not the guy I used to be
I carry a smile cause I'm not sad and lonely
I got someone who cares and she's calling me her honey
She's sweet she's kind and she's mine love comes from her eyes all the time

I wanna go back to the island where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'
Give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year
And I'll feel fine I'll feel fine
Cause I wanna be there I wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice fill it up with apple wine
And I'm chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
