Averly Jane lyrics

I caught her face in horizon clouds, soak up the smoke from her last goodbye
But I can't feel pain cause there's no one to blame
Averly was always meant to be free, when she left she thought it best to take some company
That's when she broke my chains and we took off
They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried


Chorus:
Hey Hey, Averly
Ain't it 'bout time to see
Where you need to be tonight
If you've got the mind to spare
Send it to the ones who care about you
Don't waste your breath on running alone
Just bring it on home sweet Averly Jane


Walkin' down these ol' graveled tracks, cause I lost her at the Great Divide
I got my sweat-stained sleeve to wipe my brow dry
Every footprint is caked in rust, while my boots are shining rails I fight the rising dust
Then I feel her face up in the sunrise
They never knew we were gone till the dawn cried


Chorus


Bridge:
And if you feel the highway scream beneath your feet
Just take a look around and remember what you see
Cause you might find a friend you know, burning through the morning cold
To help you find your way back home through the misty haze
Hope to see you down again Averly Jane


I caught the glare of a passerby, just a sittin' on the side of the street
He wore his heart on his sleeve, just to watch it bleed
He said, "Son, you look a lot like myself, if I was you I'd put my dreams back on the shelf."
I said, "When I come home, I won't be alone
I won't be sittin' on the side of the road while the sun cries."

Chorus
