Whitewater

Oh [?]

Well the white water wanders through them Hoosier hills
The water rolls right on
And the moon rises over a furrowed field
A sycamore stands in the sun

But they can't take me where
I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can't take me where I would rather be with You

Well the greyhound may bus me over prairie miles
Endless distances keep running
And up above me the clouds seem to sail on by
I can't keep myself from wondering

If they could take me where I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can't take me where I would rather be with You

Well I've spent most of my life running away from the things I've needed
And I spent most of my time being
Too proud to pray
But now at last I'm down here on my knees

And the neon flashes like the alabaster ruins
Sending signals out to the blind
And the people here well they're always moving
Soon I'll leave them all behind

Cuz they can't take me where
I would rather be
Where my heart leads me to
They can't take me where I would rather be with You
