I used to set my sights on an incoming light and zone out til the morning

Turn the A.M. dial, sit and think a while

Early March with the frost still hard, I nodded off and turned

The sand traps work, but stopping hurts


Carolina rolling by, windows down and the sun’s up high

Can you feel it? I can feel it


I used to kneel at night and think what’s right

Imagining a man way up in the sky or somewhere deep inside

Maybe it’s me but it’s harder to sleep with a shaking in your hand

Yeah I hate those pills except how they make me feel


Carolina rolling by, windows down and the sun’s up high

Can you feel it? I can feel it

Carolina rolling by, windows down and the sun’s up high

Can you take it? I can take it


Sometimes I watch the trees and I wonder at leaves all reaching toward the light

They can sleep at night

They know to do what’s right

When I’m out at dawn on an open road and the sun climbs up the branches

I know I’m not alone, it’s just the long way home
