Side To Side

Grew up in the back woods of a small town, my home town
Sneak out through the back yard, where the boys would be waiting around
And we'd go creeping and the night was our time
Oh I remember the way that the moon would shine

And all of the mischief done and the lessons learned
The times I kicked on through and the times I was burned
And it's not so far that I can't see
They're still a part of me

It's the highest high
It's the paths we fly
It's an unpaved road, it's a rocky ride
And all I can do is shake my head from side to side

She must have been four years older, I was so young, just fourteen
I saw her staring at me, it was a look I had never seen
She said be ever so slow as she came around
Oh I remember the way that she lay me down

And all of the wonder and the mystery
As I glimpsed the man that I would learn to be
And she's not so far that I can't find
Her with me all the time

It's the highest high
It's the paths we fly
It's an unpaved road, it's a rocky ride
And all I can do is shake my head from side to side

And I'm still keeping time
To the things I've left behind

I fill up the tank as I head west out of town
I turn the radio up to my favorite sound
A guitar strummin with the sound of the wheels on highway nine
And I wonder, will I remember this day for the rest of time?

It's the highest high
It's the paths we fly
It's an unpaved road, it's a rocky ride
And all I can do is shake my head from side to side
