Back Of My Mind Lyrics

Underneath the cool dark shade

Of the pine trees on the hillside

Where I come from

I will stay

Until when the road calls again

I can play the part just to keep my heart at bay

One more day

I can still hear the echoes of

The dreams I used to believe

Like a hollow sound in the alleyway

Of my soul

Too far gone to be on the right side of the river anymore

But I still try

In the back of my mind

Better days will come and go

Like an early snow just hanging on the trees

As far as I can see

And I can't think of what I'm not

Can't complain knowin what I've got to show

For my troubles

I can still hear the echoes of

The dreams I used to believe

Like a drunk fallin down in the alleyway

Of my soul

Too far gone to be on the right side of the river anymore

But I still try

In the back of my mind

And the ashes float on the river all around me

Camp is always somewhere

Around the bend

And every time I hear the wind

Movin through the pines again

I'm home

So much going on here but

We could listen in if we just knew what to do

Honey it ain't you

You might not like what I'm sayin now

But it'll be a lot better when I leave town again

Some sort of freeborn man

I can still hear the echoes of

The dreams I used to believe

Like a like a howlin dog in the alleyway

Of my soul

Too far gone to be on the right side of the river anymore

But I still try

In the back of my mind

And I can almost still hear the echoes of

The dreams I used to believe

But the snows driftin into the alleyway I know

Too far gone to be on the right side of the river anymore

But I still try

I still try

In the back of my mind
