Lyrics

wintertime in Tennessee summer had been hard on me
feeling old enough to be the father of a child
but it seemed like all I’d touch would turn from gold to rust
looking for what may or must be the mother of a child
then when I held my hand out through the window
I felt the world fly
reaching for someone or something that I could follow
winter wind driving through the night
thought it was love I was looking for
turns out it was so much more
than any song I’d wrote before could capture in a line
so I tried to find a way to replace what love gave
come what must or come what may
be the product of a time
then when I held my hand out through the window
I felt the world fly
reaching for someone or something that I could follow
winter wind driving through the night…
it was all clear to me that winter night in Tennessee
alone in a car driving south
come what must or come what may
everything will pass away
but a moment of truth could be a lifetime in itself
then when I held my hand out through the window
I felt the world fly
reaching for someone or something that I could follow
winter wind driving through the night
