| [00:20.00] | I met a friend of spirit |
| [00:25.00] | He drank and womanized |
| [00:29.00] | And I sat before his sanity |
| [00:32.00] | I was holding back from crying |
| [00:37.00] | He saw my complications |
| [00:41.00] | And he mirrored me back simplified |
| [00:46.00] | And we laughed how our perfection |
| [00:48.00] | Would always be denied |
| [00:57.00] | "Heart and humor and humility"“ |
| [01:01.00] | He said "Will lighten up your heavy load" |
| [01:06.00] | I left him for the refuge of the roads |
| [01:24.00] | I fell in with some drifters |
| [01:28.00] | Cast upon a beach town |
| [01:32.00] | Winn Dixie cold cuts and highway hand me downs |
| [01:39.00] | And I wound up fixing dinner |
| [01:44.00] | For them and Boston Jim |
| [01:47.00] | I well up with affection |
| [01:50.00] | Thinking back down the roads to then |
| [01:59.00] | The nets were overflowing |
| [02:03.00] | In the Gulf of Mexico |
| [02:07.00] | They were overflowing in the refuge of the roads |
| [02:26.00] | There was spring along the ditches |
| [02:30.00] | There were good times in the cities |
| [02:33.00] | Oh, radiant happiness |
| [02:37.00] | It was all so light and easy |
| [02:40.00] | Till I started analyzing |
| [02:45.00] | And I brought on my old ways |
| [02:50.00] | A thunderhead of judgment was |
| [02:52.00] | Gathering in my gaze |
| [03:00.00] | And it made most people nervous |
| [03:05.00] | They just didn't want to know |
| [03:08.00] | What I was seeing in the refuge of the roads |
| [03:48.00] | I pulled off into a forest |
| [03:52.00] | Crickets clicking in the ferns |
| [03:55.00] | Like a wheel of fortune |
| [03:59.00] | I heard my fate turn, turn turn |
| [04:03.00] | And I went running down a white sand road |
| [04:07.00] | I was running like a white-assed deer |
| [04:12.00] | Running to lose the blues |
| [04:14.00] | To the innocence in here |
| [04:22.00] | These are the clouds of Michelangelo |
| [04:27.00] | Muscular with gods and sungold |
| [04:30.00] | Shine on your witness in the refuge of the roads |
| [04:46.00] | In a highway service station |
| [04:51.00] | Over the month of June |
| [04:54.00] | Was a photograph of the earth |
| [04:57.00] | Taken coming back from the moon |
| [05:02.00] | And you couldn't see a city |
| [05:06.00] | On that marbled bowling ball |
| [05:10.00] | Or a forest or a highway |
| [05:12.00] | Or me here least of all |
| [05:20.00] | You couldn't see these cold water restrooms |
| [05:25.00] | Or this baggage overload |
| [05:29.00] | Westbound and rolling taking refuge in the roads |
| [00:20.00] | I met a friend of spirit |
| [00:25.00] | He drank and womanized |
| [00:29.00] | And I sat before his sanity |
| [00:32.00] | I was holding back from crying |
