Lyrics
Tearing down a back road
in the middle of a cold dead winter
On a midnight drunk those curves all look the same
Just then I swore I heard the wind a howlin'
but it was me and I was calling out my name
When I came to, I was wrapped around a Black Oak
Nothing on me hurt, I figured I was fine
But when I cleared my eyes I saw my soul a leanin'
Leaning toward a different state of mind
I AIN'T AIMING HIGH OR LOW
I COULD BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW
AND I COULD BE GONE FOR A TIME
TO A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
Well I blessed my soul for better than an hour
Then I could feel myself begin to rise
It was then and there that I knew I would follow
Follow to a different state of mind.
I AIN'T AIMING HIGH OR LOW
I COULD BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW
AND I COULD BE GONE FOR A TIME
TO A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
headed for
A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
headed for
A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
