Deer Trails

[Verse 1]
I've been following the deer trails down
Just to see where they lie down
When they wanna get away
From all the city's busy sounds
I've been chasing the sounds of the birds in the morning
To hear the songs of the films that they're scoring
Do you think that they know
All the secrets that they hold?

[Chorus]
I just wish I knew what was going on
In the backseat, wondering where we're going
It's a tough world, living on the road
When you're calling, begging me to come home
I love my job, don't get me wrong
Some days I think I'd be better off
Working at a local coffee shop
Sneaking to the break room to give you a call

[Verse 2]
Take me back to Gram and Grampa's house
We were scaling walls in the river canal
'Til we heard a voice we know
Saying, "Come inside before it gets dark out"
Let me go back to my old backyard
When we were shooting cans and collecting rocks
Now I'm miles from my hometown
Saying, "What do we do now?"

[Chorus]
I just wish I knew what was going on
In the backseat, wondering where we're going
It's a tough world, living on the road
When you're calling, begging me to come home
I love my job, don't get me wrong
Some days I think I'd be better off
Working at a local coffee shop
Sneaking to the break room to give you a call
I just wish I knew what was going on
In the backseat, wondering where we're going
It's a tough world, living on the road
When you're calling, begging me to come home
I love my job, don't get me wrong
But, some days I think I'd be better off
Working at a local coffee shop
Sneaking to the break room to give you a call

[Outro]
Mm-mm-mm
