I leave town, take a ride

Maybe see the countryside

All green and gold

I'll breathe a better air I'm told



The city life is fine

But is seems like all the time

It's and uphill climb

And I never draw the line



This land, this land

The soil turns to sand and stone

You could build a home

A little place to be alone



I'm worried about the world

I'm worried too about a girl

That's nothing new

And there's too much else to do



Take a man, any man

Then I start to understand

What he believes

Becomes the very land he sees

And it sets him free

Tranquility, a way to be



I'm gonna clear my head

Walk along the riverbed

I'm gonna play a song

And hope it finds her further on



I cleared my head

Heard just what the river said

I made a song

It'll find you further on



Now I'm far away

From the troubles of the day

Another way

Another way to pray



Take a man, any man

Then I start to understand

What he believes

Becomes the very land he sees



This land, this land

Here it is, I understand

What I believe

Becomes the very land I see

It sets me free

Heart of me, a way to be
