If I took a weekend
And ran away from this place
Would the guard rails on the highway
Keep me from falling off the road into space
I could drive to Niagra
In under a day
And the falls shine and roar
In a special way
The water reminds me of a time long ago
Staring into the river
While the rain felt like snow
Do you believe in heaven
Not a tear from my eyes
While the ashes float away
With the river's tides
If I took a summer
And ran away
Would anyone in the town
Rise up and take my place
