A collaboration with Dani Carroll. In life we need to keep our side of the street clean. Like driving down the road and staying on your side of the yellow line. It became a driving song. Driving through life, through others lives, through time.

The Yellow Line
Sunrise blinds you driving east. Sunset blinds you driving west. Headlights cut right through the night. Two hundred miles before I rest. It would be easy just to close my eyes. I’ve been down this road so many times. But I will keep both my hands on the wheel. And try to stay on my side of the yellow line. Try to stay on my side of the yellow line I spent my summers drivin’ north. I spent my winters drivin’ south. That day I left you on the porch the words just wouldn’t leave my mouth. It would be easy just to close my eyes and try to leave that crazy scene behind. But I will keep both my hands on the wheel and try to stay on my side of the yellow line. Try to stay on my side of the yellow line. Just like the morning sun is rising. I’m slipping further from your grasp. My future lies on the horizon. Rear-view mirror tells my past.
