I have not been home since you left me long ago I'm thumbing my way back to heaven Counting steps, walking backwards on the road Counting my way back to heaven I can't be free with what's locked inside of me If there is a key to get in your head There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad The questions linger overhead No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I'm thumbing my way back to heaven Wish that I could hold you Wish that I had Thinkin' 'bout heaven I let go of the rope, thinking that's what held me back And in time I realize it's now wrapped around my neck I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass Hang my head and count the steps as another car goes past All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives Choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back, now there's no turning back No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I smile but who am I kidding? I'm just walkin' the miles, every once in a while I get a ride I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
