Here I am on the run again
Hopeful I can still win
I press on and my wheels hum
Taking me home again
Taking me home again
I have run here in triumph
I've run here in retreat
Took my first steps here thankfully
and those days seem so sweet
those days seem so sweet
It's all different in so many ways
Changes hid in plain sight
Busted windows a dusty wind blows
Topaz city tonight
Topaz city tonight
As a child I was child like
In my teens naive
Now as manhood settles in
I still want to believe
I still want to believe
It's all different in so many ways
Changes hid in plain sight
Strangers faces in my old places
Topaz city tonight
Topaz city tonight
A weathered awning a old dog yawning
Topaz city tonight
A rundown beer joint Stop signs with no point
Topaz city tonight
Topaz city tonight
Solo
As the moon sheds it's shadow
As a snake sheds it's skin
Everything keeps right on changing
Got to learn that again
Got to learn that again
It's all different in so many ways
Changes hid in plain sight
Mom's home place gone that just seems wrong
Topaz city tonight
Dad's chair empty that still hits me
Topaz city tonight
Topaz city tonight
