I've been chasing footsteps for years
and running around in circles for years
Chasing my tail, looking for answers to questions I've never heard
Its a wide open world, I'm trying to find it
Its a wide open sky but its light and blinding
And its rainin down on me, slowing me down, but i keep on going
I know I recognize this man walking in front of me
When he turned around and locked eyes with me
and it scared me to see, myself in 20 years
lost, ashamed, locked up, loaded down, and short a try.
I didn't know it that I could change my ways
And I took a different road
No more running around in circles, no more chasing my tail
I'm just going forward these days with my eyes closed
I no I can make it, fuck it I no I can make it if I try
I must let love live inside me for awhile
and maybe later on I'll see you all after the show,
I heard this story down here about an hour ago
I no I can do it, I am a different man, different than I was
I'm going to find my way home, I'm gunna to find my way home

well i'm headin out
four door, the coast is long
headin down to the big brass show
new mexico is where i will end up this time
but i cannot find my soul
all i see is my fight here walkin toward me down the road
and i could see it, i swear
i can see your in my eyes
ill drop you there
youll never ask me why
where are we going
where have we been
what a long strange trip its been

well i lose it i know
every time i end the show
i'm all alone right now and i've got no place to go
but i will try, investigate my mind
and find myself a friend or two along the line
we can make it, i know
we can make it if we try
what a long damn day its gonna be til the end of time
but if we join up good and find peace along the way
i'm sure love will find us here, along the way
i know we can make it, i know
we can make it if we try
love has a way of living and never ask me why
oh i love to live and im movin in my soul
i'll meet you down the road, when
about an hour ago

i should've picked you up
i should've slowed down
i should've seen you coming from miles around
oh it's been a long long road
my mind is walking on
my body's driving hard and it's been way too long
i'll meet you at the party
i'll meet you round the way
i'm losing my mind each and every single day
just give me one more little time before i go
and i'll meet you at the bar, where, about an hour ago

i should've picked you up
i should've slowed down
i should've seen you coming from miles around
oh but my mind, my body, they roll in seperate ways
i cannot catch up no matter how fast i blaze
i cannot really see you
i cannot really feel you no more
i need my mind and i need it coming through my door
well i'll pick you up next time i slow down
but if i'm late to the show i'll meet you round the town
about an hour ago

i saw my mind walking down that road
my body's right here
in the car, going fast, blazing by
i missed you by a minute and i don't know what i'm gonna do
should've seen you coming
should've felt you there
sometimes my mind runs away
and my body's sitting here with a dumb old stare
saw him walking down that road, it was me
pick ya up, we move on, but no
i lost my soul bout an hour ago

i should've picked you up
i should've slowed down
i should've seen you coming from miles around
oh but no, my body and my soul
i need you back right next to me
but i missed you about an hour ago

i should have picked you up
i saw you standing there
with your backpack round your back
and a long loss in your stare
oh i know that you're going the same place that i am
all i'm looking for is a little bit of love and a whole lot of land
