Circle Back John Hiatt

Ward bond
Was his sidekick rowdy yates?
Drove that wagon train out west
Right along this interstate

Cross the high plains of kansas
To the colorado line
Spent a lot of sleepless nights 'round the campfire
They had mountains on their minds

Those higt plains people
They're different somehow
You spent your life leaning into a hard wind
I guess you're less likely to take a bow
All these stories buried out here
They're calling to me
Like the earthquakes in california
Like the hills back in tennessee

I gotta circle back
Touch something near
Find out which way to go
To get on out of here
I lost my thread
And I've lost some time
But it takes a lot of ground
For me to change my mind
