Headed North from Honest Growth by Bryn Ryder

Sitting on a bus, seat 6A
Headed north to Phoenix
Mesmerized by the high flung clouds
That vast horizon stretching out
Devils dancing through the dust
Did a two night stand down in Bisbee
Haunted hotels, dive bars, cowboys, bikers, and queers
I left my friends in another life
Watch it all fly behind
Yeah, cuz now...now I’m headed north

Yeah, I'm headed north
I'm headed north

There’s a yellow clapboard house
Sitting off to my left
All alone in the heat scrubbed desert
Like an analogy for how I feel just sitting here
Nearly boiled alive
Wondering if I made the right decision
To bet it all on this too big town
The heat that breaks you down
All sad and lonely, confused, and angry, and lost
But like peas in a pod, we’re a pair
And it’s getting mighty goddamn lonely out there

It's lonely out there
I said it 's lonely out there
It's lonely out there

And it’s the calm before the storm
The daily grind of being poor
The crazy and the intense for sure
But that’s what I live for
And I’m coming back to you
To family, to love, and the darker truth, oh
That I can’t live without you

No, I can't live without you
Yeah, I can't live without you
I can't live without you
