Skye Peterson - Bigger Things

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
There were two tables at the Christmas feast
For the young and for the elderly
Paper plates for the little ones
No plastic cups for the grown-ups
My mama placed me with the little kids
Didn’t want it to hurt me, but I think it did
Just a few more years, she said, give it time
Soon I’ll sit beside those wise, old eyes

★ Refrain ★
I was ready to move on to bigger things, ooh

★ Verse 2 ★
I left as soon as possible
Eighteen and unstoppable
Off to leave my parents' care
Setting sail to God knows where
'Cause I had to get out of this little town
Face the world 'cause I’m a big girl now
Put my heart and soul on the luggage rack
Never thought that I’d turn back 'cause

★ Refrain ★
I was ready to move on to bigger things
To bigger things
I was ready to move on to bigger things, ooh

★ Verse 3 ★
Pretty sure it was a Tuesday when I
Made my way to Natchez trace, I took
Twenty steps through the autumn reds
Listened to the sound the silence said
When I found that maple monument
Standing tall and confident
Twenty years of that towering tree
All this time twenty miles from me
Twenty steps from the trailhead
Twenty minutes from my childhood bed
Maybe all along it’s been
Calling me to come and see
This blast of lasting beauty before us
Is right here in the next-door neighborhood forest
And you’d be surprised, if you look real close
That somewhere near you a maple grows

★ Outro ★
I’m ready to move back to better things
Better things
I’m ready to move back to better things
