I don't want t

         
o hear a love 

song
        
I got on this 

   
airplane just 

to fly
      
And I know the

re's life belo

w

But all that it can show me
	 
Is the prairie

 and the sky
   				 
And I don't wa

nt to hear a s

ad story
         
Full of heartb

      
reak and desir

e
         
The last time 

I felt like th

is
				          
It was in the 

     
wilderness and

 the canyon wa

s on fire
          	 
And I stood on

         
 the mountain 

     		       
in the night a

   
nd I watched i

t burn
	       	   
I watched it b

     
urn, I watched

 it burn.
	         		
I would rock m

     
y soul in the 

bosom of Abrah

am
		   
I would hold m

y life in his 

saving grace.
	             
I would walk a

  
ll the way fro

m Boulder to B

irmingham
		       
If I thought I

  
 could see, I 

could see your

 face.
          
Well you reall

              
y got me this 


time
            
And the hardes

            
t part is know

         
ing I'll survi

ve.
              
I have come to

 
 listen for th

e sound

Of the trucks as they move down
              
Out on ninety 


five
            
And pretend th

            
at it's the oc

ean
            
coming down to

            
 wash me clean

             
, to wash me c


lean
            
Baby do you kn

          
ow what I mean
		 			 
I would rock m

y soul in the 

bosom of Abrah

am
		   
I would hold m

y life in his 

saving grace.
	             
I would walk a

       
ll the way fro

m Boulder to B

irmingham
		       
If I thought I

 
 could see, I 

could see your

 face.
