Not the Same

NOT THE SAME

Verse
You gave us all that Midwest feeling
Of seeing things turning without change
But even now I know I’ve spoken much too soon
Dust clouds have all been washed away by rain

CHORUS
So come on down if you want to
You’ll be tired when you get back home
I’ve been staring out my window
It’s not the same here with you gone

Verse
The other night you were in Memphis
You still were gambling with the road
Since then well we’ve all tried to call you home
The letters I sent you all returned

CHORUS

Verse
Last night there was a rainstorm
I felt the lightning burn my eyes
I only see through one day at a time
Since I can’t sleep I may as well drive

CHORUS

Outro
Back home in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Breathe so fresh and green
Cool mountain water
Wash our spirits clean
Wash our spirits clean
Oh that holy holy holy water
Wash our spirits clean
Wash ‘em clean, amen
Wash our spirits clean
Lord I’m down on my knees
Take me down to the river and wash
Wash our spirits clean
Hallelujah, Hallelujah come on and wash
Holy water wash ‘em clean
Seen so much of this dirty world I’ve gotta
Wash our spirits clean
Cool mountain water
Wash our spirits clean
