Lyrics
I saved my pennies for a ticket back home to you
the trip took 12 hours, I got there at 1:42
a man in the station asked me, "how do you do?"
I told him my story, he seemed to be so intrigued
he told me he's a vet, and played in the minor league
"have yourself a good one kid," he gently said
"and don't look too far around here, 'cuz there's nothin' left."
right then I knew what I had to do
I rode that train to duluth
β
'cuz I now know this town's grown old
and I won't be trapped, I seek lands unmapped
so I'll roll with the punches
and I'll row every ocean
until I find my big fish callin'
'till my last line jumps the tracks
β
still got my guitar and lord how when I feel those blues
they sing of big lies wrapped in a thin veil of truth
but to each his own I guess, we're only one piece
I saw that man once again, sleepin' on the street
well I don't know how it's supposed to go
but I know I won't miss my boat
β
'cuz life is ours to live, always
so don't leave behind a trace of war lines
'cuz we owe to our forefathers
a simple goal of righting wrongs
and when the need of too much fades
then we'll see... see our way
β
you say you know, you know the greatest good
halfway on through, we knew
time to get out and reveal it, come so far just to feel it
standing on two legs was genius
wonder if something seen it
you say you know, you know the greatest good
halfway on through, we knew
β
well I don't know how it's supposed to go
but I know I won't miss my boat
