The Plan Lyrics

Seven years ago today

I packed up my whole life and I drove away

Across two state lines seven hundred miles

Between what I thought was right and the plan

I was so upset about the move

But deep down I was more upset at you

But I knew I'd be back

And I knew we'd get on track in the lights but in my mind

Afraid I would break and not bend

Lost on the highway oh what was the plan

To add some cars and babies to the house that I grew up in

On sunny field way where at first had almost nothing

but paper cups for whiskey and my old dog Georgia Ann

A fairyland was that the plan

The deep parts of my world are onward

The river shores and sand all turned to glass

And the mountains are binding

And the roads are unwinding in the night but in my mind

Afraid I would break and not bend

Alone in the driveway oh was this the plan

To get myself all twisted with a new love ever broken

The moon over the hills reminds me of almost nothing

Paper cups for whiskey two new dogs and here I am

Oh here I am, this was the plan

Oh, this was the plan

The sunrise I can see it

Tonight I can feel it
