Come Hell Or High Water

Are you coming back east
to the family in the South?
Like a traveller on the search for promised lands
Oh, the roads been long
but stay steady as she leads
you right back to the place where we began

Round here, we wear scars like souvenirs
reminders of a past we couldnt mend
and the rivers still rise
but we weather out the storms
to taste their sweet salvation in the end

When your faith is worn
youve grown tiresome
when you fall to the floor
for the truth you cannot find (and the stars refuse to shine)

Come hell or
High water

Ill be right behind

We spent our youth growing up and killing time
every day another back road to explore
now the stars dont shine quite as bright as they did then
and the world aint quite as simple as before

And to tell you the truth,
Ive been a mess since youve been gone
I was lost without a compass to my name
but its been 3 years, 7 months and I believe
I cant spend my whole life waiting on the rain
