Tomorrow

verse 1:
I've got a piece of this highway
wearing out a new set of wheels
I've got a piece of the road to go
before you find out how how i feel
i've got a fistful of gravel
stuck inside my bootheels
another mile to travel
one more minute in the car
and i'm bound to go too far
and this travelling is killin me
and i'm sick of sittin here behind the wheel

chorus:
I'll steal, beg, and borrow
I'll take my time and choose my way
this aint a highway of sorrow,
but i want everything tomorrow's got for me today

verse 2:
I've got a thirst for the journey, a hunger
to live outside the lines
I'm the worse for the wear and i can't find
a reason to the rhyme
Another trip to the fountain
this one could take a little time
a mole hill and a mountain and who's to say now
which is which and what is mine
and how far i'll go to cross the line
but i'm keeping all the curves in mind and i'm
taking all the turns and feelin' fine

chorus:
I'll steal, beg, and borrow
I'll take my time and choose my way
this aint a highway of sorrow,
but i want everything tomorrow's got for me today

verse 3:
i'm stepping out on the home stretch
and thinking about everything you've said
i'm finally walking the line
and hanging from a fiber of a thread
there's been a crack in the mirror
a reflection of my eyes turning red
but i've been thinking clearer
i think i know now why i've got you on my mind
and hit the road to find out why
you're stuck inside my head
and i keep taking all these dreams of you to bed

chorus:
I'll steal, beg, and borrow
I'll take my time and choose my way
this aint a highway of sorrow,
this ain't a house of glass or sticks or clay
it's set in bricks and mortar
and I'll order everything tomorrow's got for me today
