Nothing Better Than A Journey To You

from the moment the arms of the midwestern sky

broke down to the pavement

in a vehicle ragged returning

nervously brave, making my way to you

heaters have broken, it's cold every day

in the mysteries at the top of my mind

I've never reached an answer, I'm only given clues

nothing better than a journey to you

I ain't got a whole lot of things on my list

just the freedom and the will to choose

I've got you on my mind and nothing to lose

nothing better than a journey to you

in the thick of the night my stomach is sore

I think I'm unable to carry on

as the lighthouse gets smaller I'm closer to torn

nothing better on a journey to you

and sometimes I may stumble

and sometimes I wonder what love is

and I wonder what it's like

to hold true, so close to you

I might be wrong, but Mary I need to get to you

I know I have hours to go

I just said I'd be back and watch the sky blue

nothing better than a journey to you

I want to grow old with you, no matter how long it takes

in the back of my mind you sit

always setting in the motion, I know

nothing better that a journey to you

from the dark desert highway

to the mountains of Colorado

keep a candle burning at the back of my eyes

of you sleeping, ceasing

my words bleed from this guitar like you hear someone speak

like an oak to the wind in the trees

I know you're for sure with me but I still feel like saying

thank you and please

and every time you sneeze as a wise man once said

I believe in love

when the breast of the hills meets the color of the sea

like your soft cheeks meet the blue eyes looking at me

it's amazing trying to put into words the message coming truly in song

like one I am simple, our brains too big to use

nothing better than a journey to you

I won't be quoting some book to conclude in some proof

you're only 99 percent so amazing to me

but to see the smallest tree and the amount that it grew

at the end of a journey, there's you

at the end of the journey, there's yo
