cherry blossoms dancin' in the wind… whistlin' a tune… the same key I'm in… I gotta go, got to keep marchin' on… to the beat of a detuned kettle drum… it rattles and creaks like my broken feet… stumblin' down avenues and dusty old streets… well, I wanna walk ‘em all, I'm gonna walk ‘em all… them iowa turbines, they're ropin' in the wind… kinda like this state I'm in… calm and quiet, and blowin' off steam… time to sleep, they got time to dream… I dream about you constantly… side by side, you next to me… well, I wanna have it all, I'm gonna have it all…
I never really thought things would pan out this way… I must confess, I never really paid it any mind… I spent a lot of time mapping out future conquests… I guess I never really thought I'd find the time to cross the line… rowing over northern waters, angry and gray will make a man feel twice his age… I stand at the corner of two dead ends… one dies where the other one begins… I'll castle my king with my crumbling rook… I've pawned every rule in that worn out book… now I'm gonna bend ‘em all… hell, I'm gonna break ‘em all…
