A Little Less Lost

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left my coat on the courthouse chair With a list of things I meant to repair The river was high and the road was mud And the pines kept time like an old heart thud [Verse 2] At the feed-store counter, June said, “You’re late” I said, “That depends on the hands of fate” She slid me a coffee, black as the ground While the whole town watched the rain come down [Chorus] So roll on, river, carry what you can Take these borrowed hours from my hands I’ll find my way where the ridgelines bend A little less lost by the weekend [Verse 3] We took the back road past Miller’s field Where the fence gave way and the grass grew wild You laughed at the map with its corners torn And said, “A wrong turn’s just a road reborn” [Chorus] So roll on, river, carry what you can Take these borrowed hours from my hands I’ll find my way where the ridgelines bend A little less lost by the weekend [Instrumental] [Bridge] If the clouds break open, let them pour We’ve been waiting on the weather before There’s a light in the kitchen, a key by the door And I don’t need to ask what I’m coming home for [Final Chorus] So roll on, river, carry what you can Take these borrowed hours from my hands I found my way where the ridgelines bend A little less lost, and home again [Outro] A little less lost, and home again
