Nomad High desert white lightnin' rain Road rush by, cactus point the way Afraid to check my speed Goodbye New Mexico We took enough of each other's souls Take your lessons every where I go I’m gonna miss sunset painted snow My Fathers before must have traveled like me ‘Cause this runs really deep Since I was a boy, it's been spurrin' me on Can't slow down, afraid ta check my speed Sorry girl, must be movin' on I wish ya all the best, have done all along Don't cry, I'll be back this way You say you envy my life but once again Ahead of me's the road I'm sayin' bye to another friend I got two states behind me and a lifetime ta go But the way you make me feel sure make it hard to go So later boys, man we had some fun I'm gonna miss ya, each and every one But the nomad in me calls, what he say must be done. Still don't know what I'm lookin' for Or if it can be found But the road that so clearly called out to me now say slow Cause there's things that you should see.

Jeremiah rode on the desert rowed on the sea Put it all in a book y’all ought to read Jeremiah rode in a turban dirty but tied So everyone knew Jeremiah Everybody mocked Jeremiah beyond their reach Shunned his book, no one see His humble text Jeremiah under lock and key So no one knew Jeremiah He would draw you in Make you look again Turn your spirit in Raise your voice again Some said thief Jeremiah some said Saint None of them new Jeremiah Said he go to the end, peer off the edge Dare to face your own Jeremiah He would just blend in Then appear again If he let you in Would you betray a friend, no He can look within Beneath the skin Makes you look again Never betray a friend Jeremiah

Daddy was a preacher, real self-righteous man Schooled me religion with the back side of his hand He left my Mother, and took the church treasury That was his last sermon, but it sure helped me to see You have got to be a sinner if you want to be forgiven If you never been in trouble then you ain’t got no reason to pray Oh Lord let me shine as your tarnished example Can’t return to the flock ‘cause I am not done goin’ astray When I was a young boy I stepped out on my own Found the righteous life left me skin and bones I moved in with this Madam, she ran her own house Kept all of her money in a role down in her blouse You know I had to have that cash before she grew tired of me Young man got to have green backs if he want to be free You have got to be a sinner if you want to be forgiven If you never been in trouble then you ain’t got no reason to pray Lord let me shine as your tarnished example Can’t go back to the flock ‘cause I am not done goin’ astray Oh no I am the Prodigal Son Rather beg forgiveness for all the things I done Than permission of a sinner to the bone Let he who’s without sin cast the first stone Now I’m a little older but I still act younger than you And in all of my travels, I learned one thing to be true If you want to come to glory, you’d best have your fun Tell them all you got your wisdom from the Prodigal Son…

So I’ll live without you See if I care ‘Cause even when you were around You weren’t really there You have run your last head game You’re out of my hair Even though I kinda liked Yeah even though I kinda liked having you there So many things about us that we’ll never know So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow. But I wanna thank you for the places that the two of us went They remain a part of me still As do many of the things I am and the things I wanna be Cause I am you and you are So many things about us that we’ll never know So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.

Not Goin’ Anywhere Tonight We all build spaces We wall to keep us out In your eyes I feel you shout No voice at all, listen for the light There we both agree We Can Go Anywhere We Like We both been places Can’t find your way out But now I feel turn around From down the hall I hear your heartbeat drummin’ out And stayin’ in is our only way out You and I slip into the night Leave the ground behind If we both agree that it feels right We can both agree We Can Go Anywhere Tonight A million faces Can’t find their way out Wanna feel turn around In the night feel us reaching out We can all agree We’re Not Goin’ Anywhere If we disagree.
