lyrics

I am a man who once said he could stand to settle down
Made my bed beside the fire
These days my eyes are stretchin' beyond this settled town
One last call for heroes

There was a redhead girl who liked to make her rounds
She was a superman collector
I spied her wine-soaked lies she was hiding underground
Didn't have no bags to pack when I left

I hit the mountain highways, ran the western sun
I traded music for my bed
Deep in the desert's where I was my maker's sun
And I got high on California time

I build a shelter with my senses five alone
I'm only restless when I die
I walk a sandstone path and it leads me close to home
Pray to God a pauper

She bore a three page letter and nursed a glass of wine
It found me lonely like a lover
And I traveled backwards inside a sleeping car at night
Things we do for others...

And I never thought I'd say this, never knew her name
But she's got me rolled up in her palm
And one day I'll smile out by myself inside the rain
The grass is greener, fertilized and tall
