Lyrics
I been rattling round this little old town for too long
Up and down the same streets every day
In the back of my mind I'm thinking it's time to move on
To saddle up my truck and just ride away
Chorus:
When I look at my life, it seems like something's missing
And I don't like the feeling of watching it slipping away
I want to go just once to where the sun sets in the distance
I'd like to hear a little more of what The Four Winds have to say
Grandpapa was born here, lived his life and he died here
I don't remember him ever much leaving town
He told me that all of his dreams had come true right here
And he surely loved the happiness he found
Chorus:
When I look at my life, it seems like something's missing
And I don't like the feeling of watching it slipping away
I want to go just once to where the sun sets in the distance
I want to hear a little more of what the Four Winds have to say
There's a ribbon of highway rolling away behind me
Those old familiar sights of home are gone
I'm going to follow this road beyond these ties that bind me
And someday find a place to call my own.
Chorus:
When I look at my life, it seems like something's missing
And I don't like the feeling of watching it slipping away
I want to go just once to where the sun sets in the distance
I'd like to hear a little more of what the Four Winds have to say
