lyrics

I know the reason you were sad for that whole season and I
I can't hold an ounce of blame
You told the story of the riches and the glory you saw
Hidden behind the savior's name
I felt the spirit, I thought I was getting near it when it
Pulled the breath right from my lungs
So maybe later we can do ourselves a favor, well the
The river's ripe, we'll dive right in

So come on now, shout it out
It'll never be this good again
Just close your eyes on this long car ride
We could be anywhere at all

We passed the mission and we had to ask the question is this
A once in a lifetime kind of thing
Everything was new now, I had let go feeling blue somehow and
All my blood had turned from black to red
The highway's a ribbon, it's a gift that we are given and well
Who are we to argue that right now?
I felt our last time, it was resting there on my mind like a
Cool drink of water in a drought

So come on now, shout it out
It'll never be this good again
Just close your eyes on this long car ride
We could be anywhere at all
Just close your eyes on this long car ride
We don't need anything at all

I know the reason you were sad for that whole season and I
I can't hold an ounce of blame
