fall by the wayside

This travellin’s not all it’s cracked up to be
Miles of highway staring back at me
Every town feels like the last one we passed
Another night that fades too fast

When I think of all the country I’ve seen
All the twists and turns of every road
I know this wandering heart of mine
Is about ready to unload

How ’bout we stop right here
Make a place for you and me
Take the stars above our heads
And the land beneath our feet

Build a little life somewhere
Simple, quiet, countryside
One night we’ll just disappear
And fall by the wayside

No one’s keeping track of where we’ve gone
No one waiting by the telephone
All the noise can carry on without us
While we make this place our home

We won’t need a grand goodbye
Or a reason we can’t explain
Just two shadows leaving town
Like footprints in the rain

How ’bout we stop right here
Make a place for you and me
Take the stars above our heads
And the land beneath our feet

Build a little life somewhere
Simple, quiet, countryside
One night we’ll just disappear
And fall by the wayside

Let the wheels keep turning for someone else
Let the highways roll on by
We’ve been chasing every horizon
Now it’s time to let them lie

So how ’bout we stop right here
Make a place for you and me
Take the stars above our heads
And the land beneath our feet

Call it home, call it love
Call it leaving all that pride
One night we’ll just slip away
And fall by the wayside
