I'm a long way walking down a dusty road
And I'm looking for a friend of mine
Where he's headed, baby, I don't know
But I think he wants to have a good time
He got a bottle of spiced rum with him
He be nippin' every once in a while
He kinda partial to finger-type of pickin'
But he don't want to cramp your style
Don't want to cramp your style
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you get your peace, well, that's how life goes
I'm bareback riding down a twisty lane
And there's a bend about every mile
Some of them places got a whole lot of pain
And some are gonna getcha to smile
You may get tired, even stone soul weary
But don't ever lay your head down too long
There's just so much waitin' round the corner
You best be gettin' up and be gone
Be gettin' up and gone
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes
A whole globe full of people stepping on the same stones
Got to reach the other side
Some of them make it like they're truckin' down the road
And some will step a stone at a time
But it doesn't matter which way you do it
If you've got someone's love to take you through it
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes
You live in a dream that nobody knows
And how you find your peace, well, that's how life goes
