Everything
was left behind,
our destiny was changed
We drove all night out west, I think
And all got flirtin' strange
A silent ride with the memories
And too much on our minds
You grabbed my arm and through our tears
We saw the morning light
We crossed the Texas borderline
No more calls to make
But our hearts were still in New Orleans
By our front porch on low page
I still smell that sweet perfume
Of wild magnolia trees
And I even miss the moral ways
down on Bourbon Street
This house was made
of dreams and song
We sang out loud and now it's gone
How long before
we can sing again
I've done no crime and here I am
A refugee of men
Weeks go by and time stands still
Always on the run
It's sad that man, I felt this cold
Just to make for some
So close yet so far away,
a million miles and moons
We hide at night and count the stars,
but daybreak comes too soon
Every day was left behind
To find the promised land
Family and friends farewell
I wish they'd understand
I know that we belong where
but the road was roamed
And somewhere there's a place for us
that we can call home
I'm not alone
