Circle Back Lyrics - John Hiatt

Circle Back 

Ward Bond 

Was His Sidekick Rowdy Yates? 

Drove That Wagon Train Out West 

Right Along This Interstate 

Cross The High Plains Of Kansas 

To The Colorado Line 

Spent A Lot Of Sleepless Nights 'Round The Campfire 

They Had Mountains On Their Minds 

Those Higt Plains People 

They're Different Somehow 

You Spent Your Life Leaning Into A Hard Wind 

I Guess You're Less Likely To Take A Bow 

All These Stories Buried Out Here 

They're Calling To Me 

Like The Earthquakes In California 

Like The Hills Back In Tennessee

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

CHORUS: 

I Gotta Circle Back 

Touch Something Near 

Find Out Which Way To Go 

To Get On Out Of Here 

I Lost My Thread 

And I've Lost Some Time 

But It Takes A Lot Of Ground 

For Me To Change My Mind 

Well Its 99 In Topeka 

The Wind Is Blowin' Hot 

Blowin Through My Oldest Daughter's Hair 

With Everything Else I Forgot 

I Drove Her Out To College 

Drove Back Through An Empty Space 

Thinkin' Back To When She Was A Baby 

Tryin' Hard To See That Face

CHORUS: 

I Gotta Circle Back 

Touch Something Near 

Find Out Which Way To Go 

To Get On Out Of Here 

I Lost My Thread 

And I've Lost Some Time 

But It Takes A Lot Of Ground 

For Me To Change My Mind 

Two Kids Up And At 'Em 

One More Left At Home 

She's A Spark Plug, A Real Fire Cracker 

And In Four Years She'll Be Gone 

They Just Blow Through Your Life 

Like The Wind On The Plains 

Like The Dust That Covers Everything 

'Til The Rivers Fill Wiht Rain 

CHORUS: 

I Gotta Circle Back 

Touch Something Near 

Find Out Which Way To Go 

To Get On Out Of Here 

I Lost My Thread 

And I've Lost Some Time 

But It Takes A Lot Of Ground 

For Me To Change My Mind
