Seeking my roots to nowhere
I probably went too far
This route to the mountains and that path to the desert
Only brought me rocks and dust

Looking for secluded valleys
I disappeared without a trace
This road to the fountains and that trip to the river
Made me lighten my pace

Changing my boots in Denver
I needed to regain my feet
A bottle of booze and a couple of ladies
An attitude I've never quit

And I said...
I need some more time
To defeat my fears
I need some more time
To forget my tears

The wind was getting stronger
And I kept losing my faith
Me and my shadow didn't feel any younger
Looking for a home on the range

Riding my horse in Texas
Like a bandit on the run
I ran for the freedom on the meadows of changes
Roaming under the sun

Seeking my roots to nowhere
I finally learned from the wind
I shot down my shadow and felt like a swallow
Ready to open the wings

And I sang...
I was dead on time
To defeat my fears
I was just in time
To forget my tears
(X3)

That was my story folks
And now I'm about to run
We're all strangers in a strange land
Just bandits with a gun
And if you come to live with your darkest shadow
Forget the rest and knock it down!
