Pearl Jam - Thumbing My Way

Thumbing My Way

I have not been home
since you left long ago
Imthumbing my way back to heaven
Calm steps walking backwards on the road
Imcounting my way back to heaven
I can not be free with whats locked inside of me
If there was a key you took it in your hand
There is no wrong or right
but Imsure there is good and bad
the questions linger overhead
No matter how cold the winter
There is a springtime ahead
Imthumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you
I wish that I had
Thinking about heaven
I let go of the rope
Thinking thats what held me back
And in time I have realized
Its now wrapped around my neck
I can not see whats next
from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps
as another car goes past
All the rusted signs
we ignored throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back
now there is no turning back
mmmmmmm
No matter how cold the winter
There is a springtime ahead
I smile, but whomI kidding?
Imjust walking the mile
every once in a while get a ride
Imthumbing my way back to heaven
Imthumbing my way back to heaven
Imthumbing my way back to heaven
