Rollin' Nowhere

(album: Tonight We Ride - 1986)

Rolling nowhere, flashing signs
Passing shadows, bitter wine
Rolling nowhere, now I find
My heart's a lonesome line

Down by the muddy river
In a jungle with no name
Let the smoke rise from the fire
Let the story fan the flame
In a burning need for rolling
'Til the world looks all the same
Rolling nowhere

Let my mind be free of questions
Let my heart be free of fears
Let my eyes see only motion
Let a day become a year
In a blur of rolling nowhere
'Til I'm way out in the clear
Rolling nowhere

Every tramp will soon discover
With the dawning of the light
You can't stay in the mission
If you don't know wrong from right
So you keep on moving faster
Leave your conscience out of sight
A barber can't make a living
Off a man who won't be shaved
Preacher can't make a living
Off a man who won't be saved
He might accept your welfare
But he'll run right over your grave
Rolling nowhere
