Heat of the Wide Afternoon
By Max Stalling
4/5/10
[A]Carolina highway, past boroughs and [D]pine brakes
The road's long be[A]hind me, every signpost re[E]minds me
My eyes have grown [A]heavy, my wheels [D]drone on steady
In the heat of the [A]wide, the heat of the [E]wide, the heat of the wide after[A]noon.
Chorus:
I've been here for[E]ever, my [D]whole life at [A]least
Trapped between [F#m]morning's opti[Bm]mism and night's fleeting [E]dreams
Here where it [A]matters, where reality [D]looms[Bm]
In the heat of the [A]wide, the heat of the [E]wide, the heat of the wide after[A]noon
This road was a drug when I started way back
Each hill that I killed was like a pill that I took to relax
Till the peace in the valleys got a little too peaceful
All the ridges I've run and all that I've done has left me with eyes full
Eyes full of the worst, eyes full of the best
Eyes full of a tiredness that won't let me rest
All the places I go to, no place is brand new
In the heat of the wide afternoon
Chorus
Some people sit still, some people go fast
Some go right to it, some never get past
Laying a map out, they don't plan just assume
And wind up forever in the heat of the wide afternoon.
Chorus
