Walking down some highway midnight North Dakota 
Somewhere 'round late fall I knew that the time 
Has come for me I'm willing a million stars above me 
I tried to catch their fall I tried to catch their fall 

Inside I felt so empty 
A stranger to this world so lost 
And as the winter draws I'm turning north 

I'm leaving things behind I just don't need 
The only things in life of worth are free 
To anyone's who's heard the call 
And turned and walked away 

I've traveled too long on my own 
I've got a dream of home 
Safe at last... 

Where are all the answers 
And visionary wisdom 
From the stately and esteemed? 
Just as I thought... 
Disconsolate I ponder 
The evil human nature 
And what it really means 
For the ones who paved the way 

No bag of gold can save their souls 
It's like they never feared 
But now their end is near 
The flames start leaping 

Baby don't it drop you to your knees? 
The only thing in life of worth is free 
To anyone's who's heard the call 
And turned and run away 

Despite this nasty world I roam 
Imagine going home 
Ghost of a chance
