Well I can see the city
Shining in the dark
I hear people speaking
They sound pretty smart
They sound pretty smart
But what do I know
Well I come down
From a Massachusetts town
Didn't know much of nothing
Except to walk down
Down that highway
Down that road
From Cape Cod Bay
All the way to Mexico
All the way to Mexico

Well I had me a dream
I had me a thought
I had me a scream
Before I got caught
Before I got caught
A long time ago
Now I can't remember
What I come here for
Sometimes I'm at peace
Sometimes I'm at war
There's so much gone
There's so much left
So many people
Gone blind and deaf
Gone blind and deaf

Well I had me a friend
Eddie was his name
He went to California
To play that crazy game
To play that crazy game
To make some dough
Now the bells are ringing
In his neighborhood
They're putting him in the ground
Where he once stood
Where he buried his Ma
He buried his Pa
I guess in the end
It don't matter who you are
It don't matter who you are

So tell me babe
And tell me quick
I'm tired of the scene
And I'm tired of the tricks
I'm tired of the tricks
That makes a man feel low
Well one of these days
I'm gonna get unbound
I'm gonna find that place
That I've already found
Where my eyes can see
My ears can hear
Where my heart can feel
That God is near
That God is near
