|
We headed straight south in a sundown light |
|
On highway sixty one through the delta night |
|
We shared the back roads with card sharks and grifters |
|
Tent show evangelists and |
|
Luke the Drifter |
|
What is lost? |
|
What is missing? |
|
What's been gone way too long? |
|
We had dreams when the night was young |
|
We were believers when the night was young |
|
We could change the world, stop the war |
|
Never seen nothing like this before |
|
But that was back when the night was young |
|
Sign reads ' |
|
God Bless |
|
America', guns and ammo |
|
I'm not sure that's what it means |
|
Sign reads ' |
|
Repent, the end is near' |
|
I'm not sure that's what we need |
|
Get your heart beating in the right direction |
|
That's when you make a real connection |
|
We had dreams when the night was young |
|
We were believers when the night was young |
|
We could change the world, stop the war |
|
Never seen nothing like this before |
|
But that was back when the night was young |
|
Now Andy Warhol's in the hotel lobby |
|
He's waiting for the late night muse |
|
But she won't be back before morning |
|
She's gone downtown to hear some blues |
|
Like the sun rising out of the sea |
|
It's how you embrace the mystery |
|
We had dreams when the night was young |
|
We were believers when the night was young |
|
We could change the world stop the war |
|
Never seen nothing like this before |
|
But that was back when the night was young |
|
We had dreams when the night was young |
|
We were believers when the night was young |
|
We could change the world stop the war |
|
Never seen nothing like this before |
|
But that was way back when the night was young |
