Wilderness Lyrics

Followed your feet before your head

Ditched your car way out west

Burned your maps, put on your coat

Thumbed a ride to somewhere remote

Silver spoon got rusty

You gave away your trust fund money

Mama begged you not to go

Father said you'd hate the cold

Folks and friends trying to track you down

'Cause you didn't tell a soul you were leaving town

Fumbling across the frozen ground

When you're finding yourself, you don't want to be found

Cops came by to see if I

Knew just where you went and why, but I

Got your postcard in the spring

Told me not to say a thing

They came across your clothes and shoes

I saw it on the evening news

Your note betrayed no bitterness

You wasted away in the wilderness

Folks and friends trying to track you down

'Cause you didn't tell a soul you were leaving town

Fumbling across the frozen ground

When you're finding yourself, you don't want to be found

Don't look back, they're gaining on you

Just cut and run like you always do

Dead men don't decide what's true

Folks and friends trying to track you down

'Cause you didn't tell a soul you were leaving town

Fumbling across the frozen ground

When you're finding yourself, you don't want to be...

Folks and friends trying to track you down

'Cause you didn't tell a soul you were leaving town

Fumbling across the frozen ground

When you're finding yourself, you don't want to be found

You don't want to be found
