Thumbing my way back to heaven

I have not been home since you left long ago

Im thumbing my way back to heaven

Counting steps, walking backwards on the road

Im counting my way back to heaven

I can't be free with whats locked inside of me

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

Theres no wrong or right, but Im sure theres good and bad

The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, theres a springtime ahead

Im thumbing my way back to heaven

I wish that I could hold you

I wish that I had

Thinking bout heaven

I let go of a rope, thinking thats what held me back

And in time Ive realized, its now wrapped around my neck

I cant see whats 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 theres no turning back

No matter how cold the winter, theres a springtime ahead

I smile, but who am I kidding?

Im just walking the miles, every once in a while Ill get a ride

Im thumbing my way back to heaven

Thumbing my way back to heaven

Im thumbing my way back to heaven...
