Everywhere you go is it really any different

When the eyes that see are the constant thing

Where heaven flows is where the heart

That beats from within is capable of surrendering

Take me back take me back take me back

To the hopefulness and the sense of no limitations

That picked me up and carried me brought me safe this far

I was just a kid in a field of wild mustard flowers

Watching clouds roll by with a 6 or an 8 dollar Mexican guitar

 

Before the weight of the world and the chip on my shoulder

Crush my spine and my dreams

Further and further from my true heart

Beat my soul to smithereens

Rub my eyes and the layers of the bleakest dawn

Peel away revealing no doubt

Write it down in big big letters

Give me something to crow about

Ever here and ever changing every time it puts me there

Carrying the mask of innocence down into some other nowhere

They come wagging them tail behind them with they head bowed in prayer

 

Everything must go path of least resistance

Gravity sends us tumbling

Back down to zero rear view mirror all I see is smoke and flames

And I'm recognizing the ritual humbling

Right up to the edge this is the test

And these are the hoops through which we are fumbling

Every now and then crazy from the racket between my ears

It's just more shoe leather it's bullshit more ride Sally ride to me
