Lyrics

“Somewhere Down The Line”

I was headed out of L.A.
With nowhere left to go
Life was feeling empty
But I didn’t wanna know
Just chasing faded highways
Under California skies
Trying to outrun memories
I couldn’t leave behind

I drove through dusty small towns
Wide valleys, desert rain
Past the hills and mountains
And city streets again
Radio kept playing
Songs I used to know
Every mile I traveled
Just felt a little cold

Somewhere down the line
Love slips through your hands
Like shadows in the moonlight
Or footprints in the sand
You keep on moving forward
But the past won’t let you go
And every lonely highway
Leads back to what you know

About three weeks of drifting
Brought me to a roadside bar
I stopped to grab some coffee
And rest my old guitar
Then across the room I saw her
And my whole world stood still
A face that looked so familiar
Like a ghost against the hill

My mind went back to younger days
When love was strong and true
She was all I ever wanted
And I thought she felt it too
We had dreams like open highways
Running wild and free
But somewhere in the distance
She slipped away from me

Somewhere down the line
Love slips through your hands
Like shadows in the moonlight
Or footprints in the sand
You keep on moving forward
But the past won’t let you go
And every lonely highway
Leads back to what you know

Then she turned and smiled softly
But it wasn’t really her
Just a stranger with the same eyes
And a memory stirred
Funny how a moment
Can take you years behind
And leave your heart still searching
For what it couldn’t find

Somewhere down the line
We all lose something dear
A love we thought would last forever
Just disappears
Still I keep on driving
Beneath these endless stars
Trying to find tomorrow
While carrying these scars
