World Spin, Home Spun Lyrics

Drive all night and you're almost home
You sing along a song on the radio
Your dashboard lights and your engine moans
Last time you left was long ago
And when you arrive
To half hugs and empty eyes
And everyone stops asking where you've been
It's then you realize that while you were out chasing prize
Everybody else got settled in.[Chorus:]
You, an old horse, you are now
Once a young gun
Now, the door is locked, all the lights off
Leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spunAnd off you go and on you ride
You never felt so lost and left behind
Your headlights glow on your heavy mind
Shining on the road and now you're blind

You can hope the stretch ahead is silver-lined
And when you return
Back to town, a place you yearn
As the only one who knows where you've been
It'll be no surprise that while everyone has lived their lives
The memories you left them wore thin[Chorus:]
You, an old horse, you are now
Once a young gun
Now, the door is locked, all the lights off
Leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spunNow when you leave here you look twice
At your loved ones, make sure to soak it in
Now when you leave here you look twice
At your loved ones
You don't know how they'll grow
They just know you're leaving[Chorus:]
You, an old horse, you are now
Once a young gun
Now, the door is locked, all the lights off
Leave your face numb
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
You saw the world spin, while your home spun
