歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Thirty-eight years on a rusted frame Forgot the boy with the heavy name Eighty-seven van with a steady hum Beating the wheel like a wooden drum The Blue Ridge curves in a velvet green The prettiest sight I have ever seen I’m moving slow through the mountain mist With a heavy heart I finally un-kissed [Pre-Chorus] I used to chase the gold and glass Watching the seasons slowly pass But the map I drew was a hollow lie Underneath this open sky [Chorus] So I paint a sign for a lonely soul To make a broken spirit whole Leave a little light on the canyon wall Catch the ones who start to fall Yeah we’re singing out loud In the dust and the cloud Finding our way To a brighter day [Post-Chorus] Oh let the spirit fly Under the Appalachian sky Keep the motor running Keep the colors coming [Verse] Sable brushes and a tin of white Catching the glow of the morning light “Keep On Going” in a cursive swirl A message sent to a spinning world The Telecaster twang on the radio Telling me all that I need to know I’m a ghost in the gears of the big machine Painting the hope that goes unseen [Pre-Chorus] I burned the plan and I broke the seal To find the grace that’s actually real It’s a quiet life in a noisy land With a little varnish on my hand [Chorus] So I paint a sign for a lonely soul To make a broken spirit whole Leave a little light on the canyon wall Catch the ones who start to fall Yeah we’re singing out loud In the dust and the cloud Finding our way To a brighter day [Bridge] I traded the suit for a coat of dust Traded the iron for a little trust The road is a choir of a thousand miles Hidden in the shadows of stranger’s smiles It’s a long way home But I’m not alone No I’m not alone [Breakdown] Stomp the floor Open the door Let the banjo roll For the wandering soul [Verse] Nailed a board to a crooked pine “You’re Doing Fine” in a gilded line Saw a woman stop in the rear-view glass Saw her smile as the shadows pass That’s the only pay that I’ll ever need Planting a tiny hopeful seed In the red clay dirt and the gravel track I’m never ever looking back [Chorus] So I paint a sign for a lonely soul To make a broken spirit whole Leave a little light on the canyon wall Catch the ones who start to fall Yeah we’re singing out loud In the dust and the cloud Finding our way To a brighter day [Post-Chorus] Oh let the spirit fly Under the Appalachian sky Keep the motor running Keep the colors coming [Outro]
