"Thunderhead" lyrics

"Thunderhead"

I can still feel the strongest hurt I've had
I was driving an escape route I'd set up
Along highway nine, I was passing through Dillon
When the crunching of metal bit down all around me
Coming to a close in my chest
And I looked at you dying where you had me all cornered
Seven feet tall meeting me at a rest

I left the scene unscratched, I left a million selves behind
And now at the wheel sat only a coward
Who took his easy route and found his way to hide
It's a big world I'm telling you, old man
And I hate that every day, I stray further inside
Well, I try to run away from being afraid of
What Id go through if you died

So, I took to the mountains
To get out while I had time
I never was there, I'd never been there
All I left with you was my pride
Now I'd burn down this town just to have you around
We could get you on out for a ride
Maybe head down to Dillon, have a look at the moose
Get a couple more hours by your side

Weren't you just alone? I've been in a hurry now
Won't give myself up just yet
Won't give myself up just yet
I knew something was wrong
I've been feeling dirtied down
Won't sell myself short just yet
