Guest:Crying, waiting, hoping you'll come back I just can't seem to get you off my mind Crying, waiting, hoping you'll come back You're the one I love and I think about you all the time

Guest:far away from the fireworks display quiet and bright i know what it's like i know what it's like i know what it's like to not feel love when a sunny day
Guest:starts to rain keep me in mind i know what it's like i know what it's like i know what it's like to not feel love even when i'm wide awake
Guest:I keep turning back one page I can't find the plot And something else is taking shape I know what it's like to keep losing your place My shadow stays
Guest:Even when I'm miles away Waiting outside I know what it's like I know what it's like I know what it's like To not feel pain Even when the lights are dim In my window I have a twin
Guest:I'm always looking out And he's always looking in I know what it's like Starting over again I know what it's like I know what it's like I know what it's like I know what it's like I know what it's like To not feel love
Guest:Far away from the fireworks display Quiet and bright I know what it's like I know what it's like to not feel loved Even when it's years away I still think it's yesterday
Guest:I can't find the plot That something else is taking shape I know it's a lie when you say it's okay
Guest:I know what it's like, I know what it's like
Guest:Someone saw something just east of here I came up on the Western Pier There's one thing you should know about Christ is watching me right now
Guest:Someone saw something and they shot it down I spent seven months in another town A night I'd walk down on the beach
Guest:Well, now I saw them watching me They roll up They put the cuffs on Then they drove me Deep into the valley They just judge
Guest:Looked me over, said I'm sorry You don't have to keep running But you best be leaving You can't take away all the parts of you
Guest:They make you do the things you do The girls that live inside my heart Keep coming up the boulevard Roll up
Guest:They pledge their lovin' Then they drive you Halfway to a breakdown The just judge Looked me over Said I'm sorry Love's been such a letdown Let's proceed with the shakedown
Guest:Jesus is a judge And he's kind And he's just Forgives us for our avarice and lust And I don't even know what's east of here I came up on the western pier
Guest:They served you champagne like a hero When you landed, someone carried you back From here on out, your patient's hero Smelling ether as they hand you the rack
Guest:Life is good, you look around and think I'm in the right neighborhood But honey, you just moved in Life is grand, and wouldn't you like to have it go as planned?
Guest:Go as planned
Guest:Hip hip hooray hocus pocus, with some magic you can fly through the air.
Guest:When you're the guy pulling focus, there are people who will wish you weren't there.
Guest:Life is good when you look around and think I'm in the right neighborhood.
Guest:But honey, you just moved in.
Guest:Life is grand and wouldn't you like to have a go as planned?
Guest:Go west, young man, go west Take a real screen test Doesn't count as a job well done The locusts had their day The suckers pay away Carmen Stern would probably pull that trigger for fun And in the hills where hope is such a constant companion
Guest:Close enough to almost touch the lights of the gang.
Guest:The lights of the gang.
Guest:The news filtered over the transom That a villain ended up with a part You paid your respects like a ransom To a moment that was doomed from the start
Guest:Life is good, you live around and think I'm in the right neighborhood But honey, it don't belong Life is grand, and wouldn't you like to have it go?
Guest:Ask when
Guest:As well And in the hills where hope is such a constant companion Close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon The lights of the canyon The lights of the canyon
Guest:They've got the calves of champions They greet the warmest way They are the dads, the men ones They've got some money saved
Guest:Another kind of classroom Another shade of fear Another door you're shoving through Until you conquer your fear
Guest:Let my children go Feeleth themselves to hurt and grow That's the hardest thing I have done And haven't even done it yet Thought I was wise, averted my eyes
Guest:avoided the light went and down through it but i was wrong i've gotta be strong and hold my head up high failure is a state of mind
Guest:Back in Massachusetts In my familiar role Afraid to make decisions But had to test my soul The girl wanted to live here And I followed my love I came to California
Guest:Enough was never enough To let my children go
Guest:To hurt and groan That's the hardest thing I have done And I haven't even done it yet Thought I was wise, averted my eyes Avoided the light, went and down through air But I was wrong, I've gotta be strong And hold my head up high
Guest:Whose is this?
Guest:This is John Goodwins.
Guest:Just one more airplane Just one more war to win Just one more storm to see I'm lost and I'm still sailing in Just one more hurricane Just one more time machine And I'll be free And I'll never leave you again I'll never leave you again
Guest:I'll burn my suitcase to ashes and then I'll never leave you, I'll never leave you again.
Guest:Just one more rocket shoot to shoot me to the stars.
Guest:Just one more parachute to drive me safely where you are.
Guest:Just one more time machine.
Guest:Just one more telephone and I'll be home.
Guest:And I'll never leave you again.
Guest:We'll be right back.
Guest:I'll never leave you again I'll bring my suitcase to ashes together I'll never leave you I'll never leave you I'll never leave you again
Marc:Yeah, man, we did it.
Marc:John Goodwin.
Marc:Beautiful.
Marc:Thanks, buddy.
Guest:Cool, man.
Guest:You're gonna hop
Guest:full of soul and a mind beyond control and the way you look down
Guest:To the sea To the sea You gotta die
Guest:Look in your eyes You don't ever compromise And the ways
Guest:that you feel is turning your soul into steel you got trust
Guest:A bubble in your blood And a world in your respite You don't know what you do to me no more
Guest:You got a well-constructed shell Deep inside You're deep in hell And you can't be
Guest:Satisfied God knows how much you just tried You got trouble in your blood
Guest:And your road is full of mud And you can't be satisfied
Guest:You don't know what you do to me no more Trouble in your blood goes on Trouble in your blood goes on
Ahem.
Guest:He's my friend, but he's no friend to me Just ask him why he'll tell you casually
Guest:Washed up bitter, broke and busted Backstabbed everyone he trusted Says he sees what no one else can see
Guest:But if I had half his guts I'd want it To chase that fatalistic comet And die young in the dark, that's poetry But it was not to be No, it was not For me
Guest:He's always sad, but I've never seen him cry When he comes to shirt, he'll apologize
Guest:find his car assess the damage still drunk but he likes a challenge holds on to his mind just like a kite
Guest:But a good strong wind will keep you honest, fill you with some common knowledge.
Guest:Things when we were young we never tried.
Guest:I figured we had time with such a long life.
Guest:Money clips, alligator shoes Just one more dance he's in that champagne room
Guest:Where she moves like a chocolate fountain Pouring, spilling all around him Makes him wonder what else she can do
Guest:But how bittersweet is love's illusion Feelings that cannot be proven Just trust me, you'll see my aim is true I've done this all for you I've suffered long for you
Guest:So many times he tried to play it straight He just worked in, worked in till his body ate
Guest:But a brand new life will lose its luster Troubles tend to find each other Call it luck, or you can call it fate
Guest:But either way, it's how it happens Not the life that you imagine So just go out with a bang like Hemingway Some will say you're brave Some will say
Guest:You ain't.
Guest:Hear the sound When my love's around Whistling the trees It sits inside the breeze
Guest:Louder, louder So sing Louder, louder
Guest:Now shuffling on the ground So come hold me, we won't be
you
Guest:This is the last song on our record, and it's a song called Grand Canyon that I wrote about a part of our trucker family.
Guest:His official job was he was our merch guy, but he was actually kind of our ambassador.
Guest:He worked the merch table on our tours for seven years, but in the course of doing that, he got to know literally hundreds and hundreds of our fans, like
Guest:He just had this kind of photographic memory for people and names and really built relationships and was kind of like the guy that they all knew.
Guest:And he and I were – he was close friends with all of us too.
Guest:And he died really suddenly about a year ago.
Guest:Yeah.
Guest:And we were not long before we made the record, and we were all just kind of devastated.
Guest:And the first tour we had to do without him was like the week after he passed.
Guest:And I wrote this song for him on that tour, and it's the last song on the record, which we dedicated the album to him.
Guest:But his name's Craig Liske, and the song's called Grand Canyon.
Guest:I went to Grand Canyon And we stood at the expanse And we watched the rocks change colors And we watched the shadows dance
Guest:And we probably didn't say anything As the sunset turned to night We led the spirits through the talking Through cascades of fading light And we drove across the desert
Guest:Saw the mountain range at dawn Heard the thunder rumbles echo Against the rocks that gods were made from And we drove across the wastelands Till we finally reached the sea And I wonder how life so sturdy Could just one day cease to be
Guest:I was never one to wonder about the things beyond control.
Guest:I stare off into the darkness and I feel the highway roll.
Guest:I feel the highway roll.
Guest:And we run on in the darkness Till the nighttime turns to day All our sorrows, pains and angers And we turn them into play There's no time to dwell upon it This is life that we chose
Guest:They made it all worth living Missed the sorrows that life throws The recently departed made the sunsets Say farewell to the ones they left behind They were taking the color hues To see our sadness through As the sun of wrath and say goodbye Say goodbye
Say goodbye.
Guest:There's a white aisle out my window
Guest:Soft lit and fading light Watch it stirring through the clouds Watch it running through the night My dreams I still can see Flying through a western sky
Guest:And I think about Grand Canyon And I lift my glass and smile I lift my glass and smile
Guest:well just do it that's right
Guest:do do
Marc:Wanna go to an A?
We'll be right back.
That's cool.
