Well I walked a thousand miles Been to see the farthest lands Well I've lived above the mountains And I've crossed the desert sands And I've been through every city with a fire in my hands The Spirits give me reason Making sure I understand They took me as a baby And returned me as a man They said to spread the word Go play your music in a rockin' band Well I'll meet you by the river And you can be my Indian guide I'll give you all of my possessions If you take me on the midnight ride You can take me up to Heaven Or you can leave me on the other side
