A Place
to Stand
I am the
man
For whom
you once prayed
Before
the fire of amber glow.
I clear
my eyes of sand
At moments
wake
To the
cries of the cackling crow.
I say "Ain't
life grand."
Just for
today
While looking
for room to grow.
I do what
I can
To be as
tame
As the
guy that you care to know.
Please
try to understand
That I
can't stay
I was born
on the open road.
I need
greener land
Fresh air
in my face
With the
wind at my back as I go.
I want
a place to stand
While my
mind's astray
With you
by my side when I'm low.
Girl hold
my hand
We'll be
on our way
I promise
to take it slow.
