PEARL JAM - Thumbing My Way lyrics

rate me

I have not been home since you left long ago<br>I'm thumbing my way back to heaven<br>Counting steps, walking backwards on the road<br>I'm counting my way back to heaven<br>I can't be free with what's locked inside of me<br>If there was a key, you took it in your hand<br>There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad<br>The questions linger overhead<br>No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead<br>I'm thumbing my way back to heaven<br>I wish that I could hold you<br>I wish that I had<br>Thinking 'bout heaven<br>I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back<br>And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck<br>I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass<br>Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past<br>All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives<br>Choosing the shiny ones instead<br>I turned my back, now there's no turning back<br>No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead<br>I smile, but who am I kidding? <br>I'm just walking the miles, every once in a while I'll get a ride<br>I'm thumbing my way back to heaven<br>Thumbing my way back to heaven<br>I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
