lirik lagu arlo guthrie - mystic journey
words and music by james rider
just me and a friend roamin’ around
him a magician and i was a clown
playin’ the streets for a dollar a day
waitin’ for the right time and a sign to lead the way
crossed over the border to a mystical land
sort of unexpected didn’t quite understand
on a razor’s edge on a grain of sand
onward we wandered to the gates of oblivion
on a roll of the dice we headed out west
where the sage and and the spice attracted us
shadows fell down like a dark groping hand
saw the teeth of the wolves and the blood of the lambs
on a turn of the cards i lightened my load
throwing off fear for the weakness it holds
on target and calm the vision was clear
beyond the mirage i took for granted was here
on a flip of the coins we rode the coast
tryin’ to make the most of every situation
that we witnessed near at hand
on a drifter’s crusade all over the land
could it be in the stars in the p-ssing of cars
at a table in the bar in a turn of the cards
in a change of your mind in the p-ssing of time
in a ribbon of rhyme just down the line
just me and a friend roamin’ around
him a magician i was a clown
playin’ the streets for a dollar a day
waitin’ for the right time and a sign to lead the way
