lyrics

Wanna find a new song and shake these city blues
Set out at the break of day with a pair of sturdy shoes
A pair of sturdy shoes, a bedroll and a knife
Set out at the break of day to look for my life

I don't feel at home here, or believe what they're talkin'
Even when I walk alone I'm glad to be walkin'
I'm glad to be walkin', and proud of you my company
Even when I walk alone I take you all with me

Around the bend a ways, sun is shining on the road
And I can slow down this fevered pace, and I can lay down this load

Nothing's as sure or scary as thinking makes it so
All of 34 years old & what do I know?
What do I know? Only what I've felt
All of 34 years old, I played what I was dealt

Around the bend a ways, sun is shining on the road
And I can slow down this fevered pace, and I can lay down this load

I thank my unknown maker, and try to take 'er slow
Heart yearning, by going, learning where I have to go
Where I have to go, and when to stay in place
Heart yearning, by going, learning, stumbling into grace

Around the bend a ways, sun is shining on the road
And I can slow down this fevered pace, and I can lay down this load
