When your in the lost and found


She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane

I'm not really sure what it is about country music
Why for some reason these songs make me think
Just that little bit extra, that little bit 
more

He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'

But for some reasons, it's not always sad thoughts
it's remembering the good times
Those things that we as a society, tend to forget.
That we tend to move past
That we tend to disregard as flukes
That society as a whole is nothing more than 
failure

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him
Not that I'm any better all the time

I tend to focus on those things 
That weigh me down, and pull my heart 
Through my ribs, and out

He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're ramblin' man
But I know that there is good

That I am good
That I can trust, and that the good of people is overpowering
More than the things
That my mind lingers on

You ain't ever gonna change
Got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')

It's a generational thing
And if I expect others to change
I must be willing to change my behavior
as well

Well it's a winding road
When your in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
We go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you who calls me back here
At the end of the day,

We're all human. 
And we all make mistakes
And sometimes, we get stuck
In the colder weather
And need just a little help
To thaw

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I gotta gypsy soul
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

To open your frozen eyes
And take in the good things in the world
Like Sunday morning breakfasts,
and spending time with people you love
Instead of focusing on the old
And only remembering the things
That hold you back 

And when I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait till then
I can't wait till then

Because in the end
you only get so much time
so why waste it on things that don't make you happy
before the colder weather sets in
