Big tops rollin’ cross the sage caravan
Hard rain fallin’ down far across the land
C’mon now honey, here is my hand
There’s nothing like the thunder to a storm lovin’ man

It was in Nebraska where the wind hit the ridge
We were hidin’ out, beneath an old covered bridge
If there’s a break in the weather, you go run if you can
I’m stayin’ here, cause I’m a storm lovin’ man

I love the roll of the thunder cross the tops of the trees
The flash of the lightnin’ and the tug of the breeze
So sweet, so full, of deep memories
It’s like me pullin’ you down, and you lovin’ me

After the tornado, after the rain, after hail and flood and lightnin’
After our hurricane
Where does the storm go, where is the plan
That brings back the thunder, for the storm lovin’ man

I love the roll of the thunder cross the tops of the trees
The flash of the lightnin’ and the tug of the breeze
So sweet, so full, of deep memories
It’s like me pullin’ you down, and you lovin’ me
It’s like me pullin’ you down, and you lovin’ me

Someone said, they’re leaving when the season breaks
Don’t care what it takes, don’t care where they go.
Someone said, they’re leaving when the trees are bare
Everyday we’re almost there, everyday the cold wind blows
Those leaves are flying
Those leaves are flying

So I am moving now, got to keep my fingers warm
Huddled against the storm, or wild emotion
Wind playing in the yard, but dead leaves don’t get too far,
No matter where you are, I hear you sayin’,
“Those leaves are flying.”
Those leaves are flying

Is it true, the seasons make the world go ’round
Something lost is something found
Where I go, you go too?
Does it matter where you turn outside the door?
Is giving less receiving more?
Can I make it up to you?

The maple’s empty, oak branches frame the sky
Wild geese go flying by, but I’m not moving
Watching the seasons change, leanin’ on my broken rake
My hair’s all turning gray, but I’m still learning
Those leaves are flying
Those leaves are flying

My love, my surprise, who put those tears in your eyes?
My love, my surprise, who put those tears in your eyes?

Nobody’s home, and I’m right here,
This is such an awkward moment, I’m running with your tears

My love, my surprise, who put those tears in your eyes?
My love, my surprise, who put those tears in your eyes?

The face in the mirror is lovely, the eyes seem to shine
The light catches something that’s falling,
You turn away, you turn away, you turn away

Nobody’s perfect, least of all the people you know
Wish I could be an exception, wish I could be, closer to you

My love, my surprise, do you remember last night?
No hiding, no compromise, but who put those tears in your eyes?
My love, who put those tears in your eyes?
Those lonely tears in your eyes?

But she’s back, saying those words I’ll pause to hear
Whispered like an echo in my ear
Take your medicine, she’s back

Cancelled tickets, delayed flights
Early morning dinner fight
Throwing words and let ‘em fall
Pull the pictures off the wall
Making up is so divine,
I see you smile and all the time
I can’t believe I buy this line

She’s back, and I was almost gone away
She’s back, and I don’t have a word to say

She’s back, I guess there’s one thing I can say
Take it easy on me dear
If you plan to stay for long

She’s back, and I’ll pretend to keep her at arms length,
Though I long to hold her close
Never let her get away
She’s back

Michaela, Michaela
Why’d you let me fall so far?
Now I’m gettin’ tired of runnin’
And sleepin’ in my car

The tape deck chewed Nirvana, where the sun never shines
FM pulled a Kurt Cobain, fine tunin’ ain’t so fine
There’s sad songs in my head,
Lord, they’re coming out my ears
I put miles of road behind me, but it still seems like you’re here

Michaela, Michaela
Why’d you let me fall so far?
Now I’m gettin’ tired of runnin’
And sleeping in my car

If hearts were like roadmaps
It might explain why we get lost
If cryin’ was like traffic fines we’d be swimmin’ in the cost
If true love was the law
I’d have every right to sue
Fix up this car, and see how far
Is far enough from you

Michael, Michaela
Why’d you let me fall so far?
Now I’m gettin’ tired of runnin’
And sleepin’ in my car

Someday I’ll find you
Unfinished Business
Someday I’ll find you

Somewhere I hear your voice
Lost in a crowd
Struggling, struggling
Crying out loud
Stop all this noise
You know it only drives me crazy
I’ll find you, I’ll find you
Just don’t run away

Someday I’ll find you
Unfinished Business
Someday I’ll find you

I’m living in my dreambook baby and every thing’s nice
I can’t look back
I can’t think twice

Somewhere out there, all those jack rabbits run
Dodging the bullets, looking for guns
Go rabbits go
Blend with the sand
Don’t wait for tomorrow
Run while you can

Someday I’ll find you
Unfinished Business
Someday I’ll find you

I want to see this through
I want to see this through
There’s so many things that I want to do,
And I want to see this through

I love your gypsy soul
I love your gypsy soul
I love that gypsy soul that’ll never grow old
I love that gypsy soul

Hit me like a ton of bricks
One thing falls, another thing sticks
I’m all alone and I’m on the road
And I’m coming home to you

So do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
I put all my eggs in one basket
So do you love me now?

Hit me like a ton of bricks
One guy plays, the other guy sits
We’re only out here for a while
So I’m, rolling home to you

I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you
I finally found out what I want to do
I finally found out what I want to do
I finally found out what I want to do
And I’m in love with you

Memories and laughter
They’ll only know
Three married sisters
And one on the road

Thanksgiving table
Kids underfoot
A phone call from Europe
She’s doing good
Give thanks for living
Just like we should

Memories and laughter
Nobody knows
Three married sisters
One on the road

Jeannie, she’s a lawyer
Pam teaches school
Sue juggles family
With the Golden Rule
Date books and diapers,
Mortgages, too

And each has a partner
To help with the load
Three married sisters
One on the road

Red morning sunrise
Know what that means
In Eastern Colorado
Living her dreams
Alone with a guitar
She’s rolling free

Memories and laughter
Nobody knows
Three married sisters
One on the road

Leading me on
Running ahead
Calling the echo
To all that I said

That was the best
When I was on track
But that’s a long way back

Driving for sunrise
Missouri night
Staying awake with the wipers
And the dashboard light

Running away
From the fear and the dread
And all those voices of ruin
Goin’ round in my head

That was the best
When I was on track
But that’s a long way back

Thumbin’ for a ride
Southbound seven-five
Outskirts of Queen City
Feelin’ so alive

Friends gonna pick me up
Stay for a couple days
Make a few phone calls
And I’ll be on my way

For at least the last time
For at least the first
I got an urge to get moving
Like a powerful thirst

But my bags ain’t heavy
And these boots got legs
Love to watch the snow fall
But I just can’t stay

Hear the whistle blowing
Somewhere down the track
But that’s a long way back
