Chickadee

Before we take it any farther, I'll be on my way

Driving South across the border where nobody knows my name

Looking out the window, Lake Michigan breaks

I can see the water boil and crash up against the bay

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

Livin' in the foothills was not the life for me

So I left a trail of bluebells from here down to Tennessee

I left 'em and forgot 'em, but they put down their roots

Now the road north is a garden, sending me back home to you

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

From the river to the edge of the world, from here on to the sea

Everybody's passing through except my sweet little chickadee

She was singing through the winter and singing through the fall

I started singing with her and the words, I knew them all

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

Somehow we stayed that way

Somehow we

Somehow we stayed that way

If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't change a thing at all

If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't change a thing at all

If I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't change a thing at all (change a thing at all)

If I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now (change a thing at all)

If I knew then what I know now
