Nothing we had gets taken away Might learn the value of it some day Everything left gets in the way Obstructs and disrupts and then leads us astray It's simple, or should be, now Happy the unspoken vow Wind blow me, I know we've done our best Follow the road, follow, dispossessed Leave all we had, time for something new Each town we meet, keep on passing through And each time you reach home, or feel distressed Think of me heading west Why not leave now, deep in July? August flies quickly, watch it glide by Pick up your bag, don't close the door I'm right behind you, if not before It's over, or should be, now, We've gone through why, gone through how You know me, I know we've done our best Follow the road feeling truly blessed Turn off the path, dim the lights, explore Cast off, set sail, then get washed ashore With each step get closer, then finally rest Think of me heading west
