[Verse 1]
I'm sipping on cheap coffee
Listening to Graceland
Wondering if you'll write me
Wondering why my life is like
That sad old country song
Our families used to hum to
I'm working on a letter
That I will never send you
[Verse 2]
I'm riding in your pickup
On our way to bedlam
Taking in the moonlight
Waiting for the rain to come
Crash down on our arms
We won't roll the windows up
As it stoned me stamps this tree line
That memory of us
[Chorus]
I've taken every back road
I probably shouldn't take
I've wasted my time
And let time waste away my days
Should I let go of the wonder?
Let go of the wonder
I'll find it out beyond the trees
[Verse 3]
Take away whatever bottled
Memory you had of me
Take the sorrow and the poison
I dreamt that I might need
Take the battered broken parts
I thought that I might be
Leave them there among the wreckage
Make it easier to see
Take the drunken spirit calling
Take the reason that I left
Take the mistake of the fallen
Take the couch and take the chest
Take away whatever hope I had of ever feeling
[Chorus]
I've taken every back road
I probably shouldn't take
I've wasted my time
And let time waste away my days
Should I let go of the wonder?
Let go of the wonder?
Should I let go of the wonder?
Let go
[Bridge]
I need something to hold onto
Dead leaves, bare feet, our eyes were true
We can't unsee that field of view
I'm writing you a letter
I will never send you
I need something to hold onto
[Chorus]
I've taken every back road
I probably shouldn't take
I've wasted my time
And let time waste away my days
Should I let go of the wonder?
Let go of the wonder
Should I let go of the wonder?
Let go of the wonder
I'll find it out beyond the trees
