I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Counting steps, walking backwards on the road

I'm my counting way back to heaven

I can't be free with what's locked meinside of

If there was a key, you took it in your hand

There's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad

The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead

thumbing I'm my way back to heaven

wish I that i could hold you

I wish i that had

Thinking 'bout heaven

I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back

And in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck

I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass

Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives

Choosing the shiny ones instead

I turned my back, now there's no turning back

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead

I smile, but who am i kidding?

I'm just walking the miles, every once while in i'll a get a ride

I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Thumbing my way back to heaven

thumbing I'm my way back to heaven...
