Great White Buffalo

by Carolina Wray

1.
I found myself staring up at a tree Oh so high above me - I felt so small I talked a lot - I never understood grief Till it was right upon me and I lost all hope And then I climbed the top of the highest hill Stared off in the distance while the world stood still I'll hold your heart right by mine forever You're my great white buffalo In my heart - In my soul You're my great white buffalo My eyes are open I'll find you someday - I know I feel blinded by the stinging cold It's burning my eyes cutting to my bones I need you like a winter coat As sure as the wind will blow it's not an easy path It's a long road home I keep searching for my heart of gold You're my great white buffalo In my heart - In my soul You're my great white buffalo Eyes open I'll find you someday - I know

Wait! I'm in love with you! Hey! I'm in love with you! You left me for New York - It was straight out of a movie I watched the car drive away - I wanted to rewind and say Hold me like you used to - I wish I would have said Wait! I'm in love with you! Hey! I'm in love with you! When I cross your path I smile wave and hope you'll laugh Remanice on all we had because distance can't be that bad Hold me like you used to and baby don't let go Because Wait! I'm in love with you! Hey! I'm in love with you! I'm trying not to hold you back It's hard to feel alone when I picture those nights I'm not in your life and I just have to pretend Trying to be stronger - any day now i'll come and hold ya Or have I waited too long? I'm in love with you!

One of these days i'm gonna get you back You will feel my sorry in a heartfelt track when I sing your song on Kiss Country radio My biggest mistake was letting you go I found myself knotted up and alone in a Tennessee bar 300 miles from home And I swear that I will never let you go again When the sun comes up over the mountain view aint got a dollar to my name - my feet are black and blue but I walk all day to get back home to you A decade gone chasing this dream beat up boots and worn out jeans but I still hold on as bad as it seems One of these days i'm gonna write that song that'll change my life and right my wrongs One of these days i'll win back your hand and I promise that i'll never let it go again One of these days i'm gonna get you back Drove to work with my headlights on 5th cup of coffee at the break of dawn When the sun goes down I work another job I sing my heart out do whatever it takes Strum my guitar till every string breaks and i'll prove to myself that it's worth the ache One of these days i'm gonna write that song that'll change my life and right my wrongs One of these days i'll win back your hand and I promise that i'll never let it go again One of these days i'm gonna buy some land Build you a house with my own two hands One of these days i'm gonna cash that check Cause baby you're my future and I aint looking back I've been running - when I should have been home I was chasing something that I couldn't even hold One of these days i'm gonna get you back

I'll take you on a joyride Backroad in the headlights This is our high life Cruising through the moonlight you can ride it all night This is our high life Oh yeah - this is our high life Oh yeah - living the high life You've got that touch it's that Carolina love I don't need much just you and the stars above I've got that old north state blood running through my veins I don't need much just that Carolina Love I'll take you on a thrill ride we'll be screaming all night This is our high life Country kiss and swerve right - Kiss Country all night This is our high life Living the high life You've got that touch it's that Carolina love I don't need much just you and the stars above I got that old north state blood running through my veins I don't need much just that Carolina Love Oh yeah - this is our high life Oh yeah - living the high life You've got that touch it's that Carolina love I don't need much just you and the stars above I got that old north state blood running through my veins I don't need much just that Carolina Love

It was a Saturday night I was holding you tight in the backseat of my car Two kids in love yeah we couldn't get enough so we kept that thing in park You looked at me and said "Baby don't let go" I'll never leave - I need for you to know Don't ever let me go Maybe this is heaven - I close my eyes and see your face With every passing day the memory never fades That old dirt road is such a special place I remember every time I drive that way The way we used to dream about who we could be Maybe this is heaven starring you and me We were staying up late yeah we had time to wait just waiting for the sun to rise We both fell asleep we were counting sheep - awoke to a blue bird sky You said "Hold me close" the cold air's cutting through (at least i'm here with you) So I took my coat and wrapped it tight round you Cause babe you know it's true I just don't know what to do When i'm not right next to you Maybe this is heaven - I close my eyes and see your face With every passing day the memory never fades That old dirt road is such a special place I remember every time I drive that way The way we used to dream about who we could be Maybe this is heaven starring you and me And then the radio plays our favorite song we forget the world's problems and we sing along When the night ends baby I can feel your love Maybe this is heaven I can't get enough And time keeps moving dust settles down We could live forever in this little town You can hear our songs echo in the backwoods I'll treat you right like I know I should Maybe this is heaven - I close my eyes and see your face With every passing day the memory never fades That old dirt road is such a special place I remember every time I drive that way The way we used to dream about who we could be Maybe this is heaven starring you and me
