1
They were hiding behind hay bales
2
They were planting in the full moon
3
They had given all they had
4
For something new
5
But the light of day was on them
6
They could see the thrashers coming
7
And the water shone
8
Like diamonds in the dew
9
And I was just gettin' up
10
Hit the road before it's light
11
Tryin' to catch an hour on the sun
12
When I saw those thrashers rollin' by
13
Lookin' more than two lanes wide
14
I was feelin' like my day had just begun
15
Where the eagle glides descending
16
There's an ancient river bending
17
Through the timeless gorge of changes
18
Where a sleeplessness awaits
19
I searched out my companions
20
who were lost in crystal canyons
21
When the aimless blade of science
22
Slashed the pearly gates
23
It was then I knew I'd had enough
24
Burned my credit card for fuel
25
Headed out to where
26
The pavement turns to sand
27
With a one way ticket to the land of truth
28
And my suitcase in my hand
29
How I lost my friends
30
I still don't understand
31
They had the best selection
32
They were poisoned with protection
33
There was nothing that they needed
34
Nothing left to find
35
They were lost in rock formations
36
Or became park bench mutations
37
On the sidewalks and in the stations
38
They were waiting, waiting
39
So I got bored and left them there
40
They were just dead weight to me
41
Better down the road without that load
42
Brings back the time
43
When I was eight or nine
44
I was watchin' my mamas TV
45
It was that great 'Grand Canyon' rescue episode
46
Where the vulture glides descending
47
On an asphalt highway bending
48
Through libraries and museums
49
Galaxies and stars
50
Down the windy halls of friendship
51
To the rose clipped by the bull whip
52
The motel of lost companions
53
Waits with heated pool and bar
54
But me I'm not stopping there
55
Got my own row left to hoe
56
Just another line in the field of time
57
When the thrasher comes
58
I'll be stuck in the sun
59
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
60
But I'll know the time has come to give what's mine
