Hey, there he goes again.
Walking down the road holding on to memories of friends
Misdirected questions we don't understand
How does he know where the road will begin or where it might
End?
Has a family that he's never seen
We can't possibly know what his life to him might mean.
Are her eyes as blue as the heavens?
Is her hair long and brown?
Does she look just like her mother?
Does her voice sing that same old sweet sound?
Don't cry your tears of sorrow,
We all know there's always tomorrow
He's going away for a while
He's getting away from this meaningless lifestyle
He's giving it one more try
He'll be back when the beauty of life stops pa**ing him by.
Saw him again in town this just the other day
Had his head in his hands looking like he was trying to pray
Was he dreaming about the sky or the rivers?
Did he think they would show him the way?
Can he find the will to hold on to everything that matters
Today?
One last breath is all it takes
Now he's walking in a better place.
Chorus
