Lyrics
Staring down all the feelings that confront me
Something he already knows
Setting my heart on a little bit of country
Something he already knows
Taking a tour of the kind I could confide in
Something he already knows
Where winds can blur what the mind has set aside
Something he already knows
Standing strong with the arms that should have held you
Something he already knows
What took so long just to say what I should tell you
Something he already knows
Casting about like a fisherman of sorry
Something he already knows
Without a doubt I will leave it til tomorrow
Something he already knows
Making my time up on the road I just imagine
Something he already knows
Don’t look behind your feet can feel the wings of magic
Something he already knows
Passerby of the simplest of pleasure
Something he already knows
Sit down to try to regain what you can’t measure
Something he already knows
Did I say I was sorry you were leaving
Something he already knows
Those yesterdays they were nothing I believed in
Something he already knows
Now on this road I can see a little better
Something he already knows
And sure enough we’re still going it together
Something we already know
Something we already know
Something we already know
Staring down all the feelings that confront me
Something he already knows
Setting my heart on a little bit of country
