[ Featuring the Fancy Animal ]
We were not that close
But maybe you needed me
I don't think it showed
But I thought a lot of thee
We all met for departure
At Sonic down the road
Anxious hearts and expectations
So much gear to load
We drove in young sunlight
Kansas was our goal
Had I heard you down there
I'd have pulled you from that hole
Up into the mountains
You led me through the cold
Further up and in we marched
Youth had made us bold
Days and nights spent under the sky
Until you left and hurt your hand
We doubted it was an accident
And tried, tried to understand
Mountain time was over
To KOA we went
You spoke with sadness by the swings
I wondered what you meant
Homeward bound, the lot of us
A lady and her men
I think I might know you now
I wish I could have then
