lyrics
It's not to say where I am headed
It wouldn't do no one no good anyway
It's all a crapshoot, just a poor man's gamble
Make a guess, nothing to lose, everything to gain
Rise with the sun, feel the cold air demanding
open passage to restricted lungs
Breathe deeper for to let it all in
Wide awake, another day has just begun
Don't be said, friends, when I leave you
It breaks my heart to hear you're feeling alone
We'll meet again sometime down the road
You're the only thing I want to call home
The possibilities sit on a platter
not waiting to be chosen, they just exist
Pick a piece and let the change unfold
The choices are all that matter, they're all there is
There's a bar right along the traintracks
There's a beach at the end of the road
There's red cedar in a swamp in Florence
There's something there wherever you go
