Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I packed my truck with a paper map and a twelve-pack grin

Drove past the last grain silo where the county ends

Then the sky split open like a screen door in a storm

And I fell through a doorframe I’d never seen before

One town had blue cornfields and two moons hanging low

One world sold moon pies made of glass in a midnight snow

I learned quick in the glow of a stranger’s purple barn

Some lost roads don’t lead you home, they just carry your heart

[Chorus]

Oh, I went far, far from where I began

Chasin’ a dream through the cracks in the land

Now I’m here, here with a hand in mine

Laughin’ in the bend of a sweet strange life

If forever’s a road, I found my lane

Far, far, and I’d do it again

[Verse 2]

Underwater, the old fence posts swayed like reeds

My words came out in bubbles and they tasted like seed

The river held the moon in a silver carpenter’s shake

And every answer drifted off before I could make a mistake

A pale-faced neighbor with a star burned into her cheek

Showed me how to breathe in the hush and how to stand in the deep

She said, “Don’t fight the current, let it learn your name”

So I let the water take the fear and carry me the same

[Chorus]

Oh, I went far, far from where I began

Chasin’ a dream through the cracks in the land

Now I’m here, here with a hand in mine

Laughin’ in the bend of a sweet strange life

If forever’s a road, I found my lane

Far, far, and I’d do it again

[Verse 3]

Then I got stuck in a dim-lit corner of the nine-and-nine

Where the clocks ran sideways and the apples never ripened right

I built a chair from a crate and a broken wagon spoke

Made a home from the waiting, made a joke from the smoke

And that’s where I met her by the market in the rain

Human smile, moonlit eyes, and a heart that knew my pain

We married in a meadow by a fence line wrapped in vine

Now our little ones got two kinds of wonder in their eyes

[Bridge]

In my left coat pocket, a ring and a train ticket stub

In the glove box, a baby sock and a map of where I’d been

Top drawer: a photo of her laughing by the corn

Bottom drawer: crayon planets and a note that says “We’re home”

Kitchen drawer holds coupons, a bolt, and a broken key

Hall drawer holds a seashell from the place she first found me

Every little thing I kept turned into a sign

That the strangest winding road was leading me to life

[Chorus]

Oh, I went far, far from where I began

Chasin’ a dream through the cracks in the land

Now I’m here, here with a hand in mine

Laughin’ in the bend of a sweet strange life

If forever’s a road, I found my lane

Far, far, and I’d do it again

[Outro]

Now the porch light’s warm and the supper’s on

Little feet run wild till the day is gone

And I swear the stars look closer from this little patch of ground

I got lost in a thousand worlds and found my home in this one town

Oh, far, far, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be

With my alien bride and our family
