The road is long You're gonna get thrown about Stick to the rhythm Breathe it in and breath it out
Do what you do, there isn't any secret Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes Find a lover, put a flower in her hair Climb a mountain, see the mountain disappear
Be the first to go back to the ghost town Break bread with the man that's gonna bring you down Deep, deep down
I listen and I hear what's said I follow it from a to zed But wisdom hasn't found me yet
You're feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard You feel alone, take a look in your backyard Put your eye to the eye of a telescope The universe looks back through a microscope
Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair A wasted life is a life lived unaware Make money, put it on a number eight Tempt fate, maybe you're a wheel goin' round Round and round
I listen and I hear what's said I follow it from a to zed But wisdom hasn't found me yet
