Lyrics:

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbin' my way back to heaven
Countin' steps, walkin' backwards on the road
I'm countin' my way back to heaven

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
If there was a key, you took it in your hand
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbin' my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you, I wish that I had
Thinkin' 'bout heaven

I let go of a rope, thinkin' that's what held me back
And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past

All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
Choosin' the shiny ones instead
I turned my back, now there's no turnin' back
Hmm-hmm

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kiddin'?
I'm just walkin' the miles, every once in a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbin' my way back to heaven

I'm thumbin' my way back to heaven
I'm thumbin' my way back to heaven
