Lyrics
I stepped in the wet concrete
Did not notice orange and black
Slipped them boots right off my feet
Left them there, did not look back
Horns were honking as I strode
That dirty, fading yellow stripe
I wisht I had a horse I rode
I did not have the time to gripe
Oh...
Mountaintop in front of me
Right between two high-rise blocks
Took a breath and headed free
To trees and grass and snow and rocks
I roamed out of Buffalo
The plastic broke, the picnic spoiled
It was cold and wet, you know
My pants were thin, my hat tinfoil
Oh, I got's to go
They might circle overhead
But you'll never see them clear
Quiet as a piece of bread
That's why I'll move on out of here
Slipped off the road at mile fourteen
Heard a train around the bend
It is true but hard to think
I'll never ride that spine again
Oh...
My coat caught on a thorny limb
I bent it back with onward step
Now it's hanging in the wind
I could not stop to fight its grip
Night was coming, I laid up
And ate a pine cone in the dark
Just 8 packs of matches left
I dare not waste a single spark
Oh, I got's to go
I woke up in the tender dawn
Squirrels ate off my socks and shirt
I read the map drawn on my palm
And made a mask of sap and dirt
Put my ear down to the ground
Braid my hair, a hundred locks
Not another soul around
Dead aim on the mountaintop
Oh...
Just before I made the crest
I stopped and I burned my pants
Smeared the ashes on my chest
Hit the top and did my dance
Sunset on the other side
Arcadia in red and gold
No hint of trouble, grief or pride
Down the mountainside I rolled
Oh, I got's to go
People bitch about their hometown
I don't even know mine's name
Looking back'll drag you down
Holding on will do the same
Reaching out to the divine
Always gets more than you give
Who is there to say I died?
Who is left to say I lived?
Oh, I got's to go
