ARTIST'S NOTES:
On a drive out of Memphis--I thought of a friend who had abruptly changed hemispheres. As if he fell off the edge of the world. The Iraq war was raging --that steered the song a bit... February 2007.
lyrics
I remember the way she caught his eye
As if a 747 flew by
Just sat there dazed for a while
Had the strangest look in his eye
CHORUS
Cold wind blows the fire still burns
Since my friend fell off the edge of the world
Can't believe what you might've heard
Since my friend fell off the edge of the world
Rumors fly we may never learn
why my friend fell off the edge of the world
I sure hope some day he'll return
Since my friend fell off the edge of the world
We always found a way to kill time
On the secondary gravel so fine
Never had to find the white line
Drinking as the ditches flew by
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Everything was going just fine
We hadn't even crossed the county
Then they put him on a firing line
He won't be back to tell us this time
