Thumbing My Way

~~~~~~~ THUMBING MY WAY ~~~~~~~~

I have not been home since you left long ago.
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven.
Counting steps. Walking backwards on the road.
I'm counting my way back to heaven.

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me.
If there was a key you took it in your hands.
There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad.
The questions linger overhead.

No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven.
I'd wish that I could hold you. I'd wish that I had.
Thinking about heaven.

I let go of a rope. Thinking that's what held me back.
And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck.
I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass.
Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past.

All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives.
Choosing the shiny ones instead.
I turned my back. Now there's not turning back.

No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.
I smile but who am I kidding.
I'm just walking the miles. Every once in a while I get a ride.
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven.

    Just such a gorgeous song that doesn't seem to get the praise it deserves. This is definitely one of the most prettiest PJ songs I have ever heard. Some of Ed's best work if ya as me. He really pours every inch of his soul out on this one. A sad song that transforms into hope and acceptance. Sooo beauitul. Looove it.

    HORRAY FOR THUMBING MY WAY! :D

    That is one of best songs Eddie has ever written, next to Betterman. WOW!! people say this song is not good to hear live, but people, come on, Eddie is opening up his heart to us and telling us his pain. he is sharing w/the fans about his heartache during this song.

    Everytime he played it on this tour, I just stood there and listen to his words and his emotions throughout that song.

    Truly amazing!

  • Listening to one of my Aussie boots the other night and Eddie says something about this song being about hitchiking your way through a broken heart. I love you Ed!

  • I got so choked up seeing this one live.....
    where do I go to soothe my head?
    guess I'll turn on music instead
  • MeddleDealMeddleDeal Posts: 2,547
    it makes me upset that people go out of their seats while Eddie is singing this song to us. Really sad.

    The man is opening up his whole heart to us, and people just don't give a shit about it.

    Sorry. That just makes me mad!!

    awesome song. eddie does it again. simple yet effective
  • PhillyPJPhillyPJ Posts: 1,266
    yea anyone who gets up for a beer run during this song is clueless and must not appreciate PJ.

    but at every show you have people who only know Evenflow and Alive and are at the concert to get shit-faced drunk and thats about it.
  • justamjustam Posts: 21,410
    This song is one of my favorites too.

    yep. that is how it was in Little Rock, well, in the rows in front. Plus, there was this fat dude that kept getting in OUR way, and almost crushed my camera. At least I was in a row that the other members of the jamily, who did not get 10c tixs, were at:D

    Great song and good times!
