Well i left my home in wisconsin the day before halloween
I caught a ride with a scary truck driver down to tennessee
And on the way his pain and purpose poured into my ears
“thank you for the ride, good sir, but my next stop is here”
With that i disappeared
I left old boy in tears
Well i spent 3 days in nashville playing guitar on the street
Had no clue what i’d do next or who i was trying to meet
Rainy cold day on broadway, she appears in front of me
She claims her name is carolina, and she’s bound for new orleans
Now carolina she’s an older lady, but she can dance as young as mе
She says “you know i walked a similar path back in the latе fifties
So if you put my trust in you my friend, i might say the same
We’ll ride that train together all the way to new orleans”
All the way to new orleans, off to new orleans
Then west we shot from that bayou, and we sing and talk the whole way
But the day i got to colorado, i was ready to go my own way
That night i met a man named jose at a dirty old flying j
He said “if you’re still here at 4 a.m. kid, you got a ride all the way to the bay” (well okay)
So i wait all night i dearly do, in a dirty truckers’ lounge
I thought about this life i live and the next place i am bound
I stepped out into the cold morning at exactly 4 a.m
Well jose left without me, i just couldn’t understand
For the first time in my whole life i felt compelled to pray
I said “thank you, dear creator, for the journey in today”
And i was off to new orleans
Left old boy in tears
The journey in today, what else can i say?
