Written driving from Toronto, Ont to Houston, TX Jan 3, 1999
lyrics
Driving down the 401 this cold Sunday morning
I’m headed back but I’ll be back home again
A picture’s in my mind
A few good friends and a bottle of wine
And as the snow falls down I wish I didn’t have to leave
Well the snow has turned to rain
As we cross the Mississippi
I already miss the smell of the air in Ontario
When we get back to this place it’s back to the old rat race
and we’ll play to get some change in our hands
And the sun keeps shining on me
Wherever I am
It keeps shining on me
Well it’s now Monday morning and we’re still driving
We’ve only got a few more hours to go
So I close my eyes for awhile and think about my life
And thank God for how far I have come
And the sun keeps shining on me
Wherever I am
It keeps shining on me
