Lyrics
Hope found me somewhere on the road to Carolina • Sanity caught me in a daze and disconcerted • So I escaped, six strings and me • Made my way past the muddy shores of Mississippi • Wrote my name, carved it in a tree down by the river • So you remember, remember me • And oh...oh my eyes see • There are better days ahead of me • Humbling, wandering the desert of Nevada • Love and shame, you can keep your little drops of water • A sea is storming and it calls to me • Fast asleep, awakened on the coast of California • Seasons changed, slowly it dissolved the rearview highway • And there's a new day straight ahead • I know some day when I'm standing at the pearly gates of heaven • With no key, I guess I'll pound my fist until its bleeding • If there's no answer I'll wait and see • Who comes for me • To set me free •
