Beween the father and his son
Between the city and the one
Between the teacher and the test
Between the journey and the rest
The shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
The house on fire holds no shame
I will be coming home again
Four hundred miles
Without a word until you smile
Four hundred miles
On fields of fire
Between the woman and the boy
Between the child and a toy
Between the following of the west
Between the journey and the restGriffith
I know you believe in miracles
That this love will come back around
I know you believe the grass is growing
Across this winter
To the south of this town
I know your kiss is sweeter
Than the dust that this love has become
Yet, I know your path is clearer
Shed of me ... out there on your own
I don't intend to sound ungrateful
You've given love when I had none
My feet have tread upon the road you're on
And I know that it's not my way home
I know ... that it's not my way home
I know ... that it's not my way home
You know ... this love has left us
Don't count the years ... it took a long time to kill
I know you will find a place for memories
And you'll be out there runnin' ... I will be here to be still
I don't intend to sound ungrateful
You've given love when I had none
My feet have tread upon the road you're on
And I know that it's not my way home
I know ... that it's not my way home
I know ... that it's not my way home
