"Can you tell me where to go from here?" She asked him with a sigh He said, "Move around a little more And spread your wings and fly. And there’s the air to breathe And the sunlight on your face And it’s the only sure way You’ll get outta this place." So come on, Charlie Unwrap me from your finger and spin Add a little barley, I don’t drink no gin but, You got a lot of load upon your achin’ knees So I’m gettin’ out and movin’ on and doin’ what I please. And so she picks up her things and moves it on out, Walks a little faster, hurry, don’t shout And she reaches in the sky and picks out a little piece, For herself, Keeps on truckin’, takes her life Off the shelf. And she sings, CHORUS "Here I am, This is me, This is what I’m gonna be. I said, wash your face ‘cause you can’t see, Put that life together Make it free." So he’s driving in his car one night, Looking for himself And he’s pullin’ on the sidewalk And asking for some help And he sees that same girl, Enjoyin’ the breeze, And she walks along over and Dusts off her knees. So she looks upon his face, Remembers that one day, Hops into his car, slams the door And bellows one big "Hey. I know what you did for me, So come on, give a try, Just move it on a little more And spread your wings and fly." And she leaves him in silence, Watching herself, And he thinks about her words, And those ice cubes start to melt He "U"s his pick-up truck Around the interstate, Says he’s gonna start over With a brand-new clean slate. He sings, Chorus And it’s hard to find When you’re lookin’ too deep Just gotta rewind And wake up from that sleep. Chorus
