A one man band on a one night stand. As a one man band should be. The cried for more, he replied why sure. And he played one just for free. The sounds he laid down. the songs he played.
In this land of chance do we know right from wrong. Even at a glance we know the road is long. We don't owe a single thing to anyone. Most of us do not believe in come what may.
I'm on my way, got no time to waste. Places to go, people to chase. Gonna grab my comb 'n my toothpaste. Gotta get away from here. Twenty-one years from the day I was born.
Through the woodland, through the valley. Comes a horseman wild and free. Tilting at the windmills passing. Who can the brave young horseman be. He is wild but he is mellow.
I'd like to be in Biscuit City. With my banjo in my hand. I don't need no long vacation. In some foreign land. Cause the sound of my own breathing. Has been turning to a sigh.
All I'm after is to be on your winning side. All I need is to be turning back the tide. 'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead. What you're thinking could be anybody's guess.
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand. With an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand. I'm a long way from home and I miss my darlin' so.
If you could read my mind, love. What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie. 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. . In a cast the dark or a fortress strong.
Ribbon of darkness over me. Since my true love walked out the door. Tears I never had before. Ribbon of darkness over me. . Clouds are gathering over my head.
Ribbon of darkness over me since my true love walked out the door. Tears I never had before ribbon of darkness over me. Clouds are gathering o'er my head they chill the day and hide the sun.
If I satisfy you. If you satisfy me. Once the course has been set. Gonna need all the help I can get but. . You just gotta be you. I just gotta be me.
You make the time stand still. You do it now and you always will. You take me as I am. You make me feel like a brand new man. . Every time that I fall down.
If I can last through another sunrise. In the past I knew what to do. But this was such a grim surprise. If I wait for the sun to shine. . How will I pass the time.
If I had a dollar, if I had a cent. I would play most anywhere if it would pay my rent. I'd be livin' on the downside in my old apartment. For the rest of my days.
Whispers of the north. Soon I will go forth. To that wild and barren land. Where nature takes it's course. Whispers of the wind. Soon I will be there again.
Travel with me if you choose. Into a land of notions. Through the ruins of yesteryear. Set yer mind in motion. Be beside me win or lose. I will no forsake thee.
When I woke this mornin', something inside of me. Told me this would be my day. I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change. Too many times I'm on my way.
I have been down in valley of tears. I have stood on the highest peak. For the best part of a week. Battered and bruised I had pulled myself through. Every scene I would never repeat.
I'm not ashamed to say that I've loved you well. I'm not ashamed to let you know. I'm just a name, that's all, scratched upon your wall. You've used it well but what the hell that's what walls are for.
Say what you will, I will miss you my friends. Let me move along for the road never ends. Vowing to live till the end of all time. All the way to the ends of the earth because i'm.
