Walking down some highway midnight North Dakota 

Somewhere 'round late fall I knew that the time 

Has come for me I'm willing a million stars above me 

I tried to catch their fall I tried to catch their fall 



Inside I felt so empty 

A stranger to this world so lost 

And as the winter draws I'm turning north 



I'm leaving things behind I just don't need 

The only things in life of worth are free 

To anyone's who's heard the call 

And turned and walked away 



I've traveled too long on my own 

I've got a dream of home 

Safe at last... 



Where are all the answers 

And visionary wisdom 

From the stately and esteemed? 

Just as I thought... 

Disconsolate I ponder 

The evil human nature 

And what it really means 

For the ones who paved the way 



No bag of gold can save their souls 

It's like they never feared 

But now their end is near 

The flames start leaping 



Baby don't it drop you to your knees? 

The only thing in life of worth is free 

To anyone's who's heard the call 

And turned and run away 



Despite this nasty world I roam 

Imagine going home 

Ghost of a chance
