Tall Pines lyrics

[Verse 1]
Riding in a moving truck again
Northern California dusk is barely hanging in
They need a music pastor at a church in Paradise
Here we come guys

[Chorus]
Keeping my eyes wide open
For the long shadows
In the tall pines

[Verse 2]
Now what's a winning twelfth grade girl want with a freshman
We took our shirts off in my bedroom, french kissing
Both lying to our parents

[Chorus]
Keeping my eyes wide open
For the long shadows
In the tall pines

[Verse 3]
But it's over now
I like it here anyway
Sunday church
Friends in the pews
What am I gonna do?
Follow in my father's footsteps
Or maybe music work I haven't dreamt of yet
I hope it's drum set
[Chorus]
Keeping my eyes wide open
For the long shadows
In the tall pines

[Outro]
Dad waited 'til school let out
To confront his boss
For doing wrong
And it's time to move again
