Little cabin near the desert sand
Ancient mountains risin’ up so grand
Life was easy, now the hard times rule
How’d my home become a banker’s tool
Bigger powers than I understood
Talkin’ fancy, they were all no good
Never thought that it could be this way
All I worked for simply gone that day
Now I’m searchin’ in the evening light
Lookin’ out for brighter stars tonight
Now I’m searchin’ in the evening light
Gonna find a way to set things right
Mrs. Hill, she came to say goodbye
Held me close beneath that autumn sky
Wished me luck no matter where I went
All I heard was just a sad lament
Packed the car and then I left that town
Still in shock the way it all went down
Hit the highway for a long long ride
No direction, only hope and pride
Chorus.
Took me weeks, I went from coast to coast
Callin’ people who I loved the most
Some were missin’, others just moved on
Then I finally reached my good friend John
Seems that things had turned him downside up
All he had was just this ragtag pup
As for me, I’m on the road again
Need the courage of a million men
