Autobiographical

lyrics

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.
