Old Wanderer - Trilogy

She's got that leaving kind of way

She don't think too much on yesterday

It's a blessing and a curse

Not too good, but nothing worse

She's got that leaving kind of way

She don't let just anybody in

One will get through every now and then

She'll turn a lover into a stranger

There's no hope, but there's no danger

She don't let just anybody in

It's a lonely way to be, but it's the only way she sees at all

If nothing's ever real, she won't have to feel the fall

She can make a night that never ends

She'll take your hand and lead you with the wind

But it's not what it seems, so don't close your eyes to dream

Just let it be a night that never ends

It's a lonely way to be, but it's the only way to see at all

And if nothing's ever real, you won't have to feel the fall

She's got that leaving kind of way

It's a lazy summer, and days, they come

Like a rolling thunder, he's up before dawn

With his eyes wide open, he's walking out into the sun

Yeah, he's an old wanderer, just making his way back home

He's seen wide open spaces, he's stood upon the shore

He's seen dark places he don't want to see anymore

And he's out here thinking maybe he's been taking too long

Yeah, he's an old wanderer, just making his way back home

And as days, they come, and as days, they go

He finally realizes everybody grows old

He's too tired to fight it, so maybe he'll just ride it on in

Now he's dragging his feet down an old dirt road

He's kicking up dust trying to lighten his load

Praying like hell for someone to come along

And help an old wanderer, just making his way back home

And as days, they come, and as days, they go

He finally realizes everybody grows old

He's too tired to fight it, so maybe he'll just ride it on in

He's found cool waters, he's got shelter from the cold

He's still got a fire burning down in his soul

And he's taking his time, just waiting for the rhymes to come

He's an old wanderer, just making his way back home

And as days, they come, and as days, they go

He finally realizes everybody grows old

He's too tired to fight it, so maybe he'll just ride it on in

I've had enough of mean spirits

Taking me places I don't want to go

I've given up on mean spirits

Gotta get back what's good for the soul

I had to break up with the bottle

Started out fun, then it brought me down

I had to ask myself some questions

I had to get right with what I found

I've had enough of mean spirits

Taking me places I don't want to go

I've given up on mean spirits

Gotta get back what's good for the soul

Show me your friends and I'll show you your future

Find the ones you want to keep around

'Cause others, they're like crabs in a bucket

You start to get up and they pull you back down

I've had enough of mean spirits

Taking me places I don't want to go

I've given up on mean spirits

Gotta get back what's good for the soul

Everybody's screaming at each other

And everybody's got something to say

Turn off your TV talk to your neighbors

Be the reason somebody has a better day

I've had enough of mean spirits

Taking me places I don't want to go

I've given up on mean spirits

Gotta get back what's good for the soul

Gotta get back what's good for the soul
