It's only a three day drive 
And I was hoping you'd come along 
Come on Josiah, don't be cross 

I hear New Mexico is really gorgeous this time of year 
Don't you want to see the Spanish moss 

I've been running far too long 
For you to give up on me now 
Won't you find a comfort in your friend 
And the big blue sky is much to empty without you putting me down 
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand 

I'm playing cedar guitar 
And I've been thinking you wanted to 
Come on Josiah, sing along 

You never said no before 
To six strings on a cedar guitar 
But I've betting you didn't want to start off wrong 

I've been running far too long 
For you to give up on me now 
Won't you find a comfort in your friend 
And the big blue sky is much to empty without you putting me down 
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand 

It's only a three day drive 
Josiah come on pack your bags 
I know you needed to get away 

I hear New Mexico is really gorgeous this time of year 
Don't you want to watch the children play 

I've been running far too long 
For you to give up on me now 
Won't you find comfort in your friend 
And the big blue sky is much too empty without you putting me down 
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand 
Yes I'd really like to know you're holding my hand 
I'd really like to know you're holding my hand
