Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
Twenty-five and the world felt small
Walkin’ those halls at Sac State
Gold in the light and the summer was tall
The day I sealed up my fate
I held her hand though I wore a ring
My heart was filled with desire
Cheryl was more than a passin’ thing
She was the smoke and the fire
[Break]
[Verse]
12 years deep in a picket fence life
Three kids playin’ out in the yard
Playin’ the role of the man and the wife
But keeping the secret was hard
I traded the peace for a different storm
Leavin’ the house on the hill
The memory of her was keepin’ me warm
While the rest of the world caught a chill
[Chorus]
Now I am sober and the bottle is dry
Watchin’ the seasons turn gray
The second wife sleeps while the hours go by
And I look for the words I can’t say
Forty-five winters have covered the tracks
Of a boy who was ready to run
There is no road that can carry me back
To the heat of that … Sacramento sun
[Break}
[Verse]
I gave up the spirits and the midnight haze
To stand on a steadier floor
But the mind has a habit of wanderin’ maze
To find an unlocked door
I wonder if time was as heavy on her
As it’s been lyin’ on this tired old frame
Whether she’s exactly the way that we were
Or just a face with a different last name
[Break]
[Chorus]
Now I am sober and the bottle is dry
Watchin’ the seasons turn gray
The second wife sleeps while the hours go by
And I look for the words I can’t say
Forty-five winters have covered the tracks
Of a boy who was ready to run
There is no road that can carry me back
To the heat of that … Sacramento sun
[Break]
Forty-five winters have covered the tracks
Of a boy who was ready to run
There is no road that can carry me back
To the heat of that … Sacramento sun
