lyrics

You have absolutely no idea what it's like
to not even trust your own ceiling.
That day the filthy water poured right out through the heavens,
I thought that I'd lose everything but at least I still got my gut for feeling
(and thank the lord for that)

I will hang a picture in a frame,
not just some dirty canvas that I found on the side of the street
And I will toss my boots out the back door
cause even they're too weary for these feet
(but we still got such a long way to go!)

Well I keep seeing people that look just like you
when they're walking at a certain distance.
Then I figured out pretty quickly that you were a wayfarer,
and that's ok man I respect that, I understand
that you always choose the path of least resistance
just be careful cause that's what I did and look at me now...

You say you were born to be a wayfarer, that's what you say
you were born to be on the road,
or on the rails there with your load and on the seas and sleepin under trees...
you were born to be on the road
baby you were born to roam!
