Lyrics
Magnolia in the mild breeze, roadway stretching south
My thoughts scatter like wild geese, and the words fall from my mouth
I'm missing where I've been, and yearning for where I'm bound
Spin the wheel again, one more time around
I thought of the islands, a canoe in the morning mist
Thought of waking up smiling, thought of leaving all of this
Burning through the scenery wore my brakes right down
Gotta listen to the machinery, to make it one more time around
One more time around
There's joy in the daylight, courage in every start
Landscapes to fill my sight and music to fill my heart
And when the band kicks harder, troubles come unwound
Swing your partner, one more time around
One more time around
Lucky to have the friends I've known, these songs to sing and this earth to ride
Got this sweet life on loan, couldn't keep it if I tried
Just a day's worth of air, feet worth of ground
Somebody's lettin' it ride somewhere, one more time around
One more time around, One more time around
