Well I walked a thousand miles
Been to see the farthest lands
Well I've lived above the mountains
And I've crossed the desert sands
And I've been through every city with a fire in my hands

The Spirits give me reason
Making sure I understand
They took me as a baby
And returned me as a man
They said to spread the word
Go play your music in a rockin' band

Well I'll meet you by the river
And you can be my Indian guide
I'll give you all of my possessions
If you take me on the midnight ride
You can take me up to Heaven
Or you can leave me on the other side
