Six Steel Strings

You can see that train wreck comin'
From a hundred miles away
I don't leave 'til tomorrow
And I already want to stay
Just when this life we're building
Is the best it's ever been
It's time for me to head back out again

Four spinnin' wheels
Two silver wings
A thousand miles
Between these two dreams
Life ain't as simple as it once seemed
Lovin' both you
And these six steel strings

I guess I ain't no different
From the salesman down the street
Both doin' what we're good at
To put shoes on babies' feet
And when it's time to go
In our hearts we fight the war
Between what we do
And who we do it for

Four spinnin' wheels
Two silver wings
A thousand miles
Between these two dreams
Life ain't as simple as it once seemed
Lovin' both you
And these six steel strings

You stand beside me through it all somehow
Knowing I wouldn't be the man you love without

These spinning wheels
And silver wings
The eternal chase of a lifelong dream
The daily contradictions that it brings
Lovin' both you
And these six steel strings
Lovin' both you
And these six steel strings
I'm in love with you
And six steel strings
