Carried my cross from dusk til dawn I've burned every bridge that I've walked upon One day I'm gonna find my higher home I've had money, I've been destitute Got drunk with the banker and the prostitute One day I'm gonna find my higher home I left home as soon as I got the chance I tried to live my life like an old romance But one day I'm gonna find my higher home Now I've lived in the east and I've lived in the west And I've left all the girls that loved me best One day I'm gonna find my higher home As a boy, I dreamt of growing up to ride No one could change my mind, but mama tried But one day I'm gonna find my higher home I wanted a life with no regrets But living this way, that's all you get One day I'm gonna find my higher home
