Stepping down from the stage is like leaving the cage,
and your arms are like lead.
You take a look outside and the wind blows wide -
you’re three hours from your bed.
CHORUS:
And you feel the road under your wheels
and you feel the scar beginning to heal -
fifteen tons of wire and chrome and steel,
bringing you closer to home.
The roads are silver and white at this time of night,
and the night before.
Far from home is a song you’ve sung your whole life long,
you can’t sing it anymore.
CHORUS
I used to think that the road ran through my soul.
Now I find my wheels don’t need to roll.
I don’t know where the songs all go when your voice
cannot be found.
They live in hard-to-find places and instrument cases
when you’re out of town.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
