From the recording Blue-Eyed Renegade
Lyrics
The cost of living’s high and going up
I packed a daydream in a pale blue truck
Shook hands with a host of demons
Said goodbye to rhyme and reason
I walked along a solitary street
Starry-eyed cement beneath my feet
Never was a thought so crazy
That somehow someone else could save me
Look at him go
The Blue-Eyed Renegade
The price that he has payed
Someday I’ll know
Who I’m supposed to be
And you’ll get the best of me
I made eyes at New York City
Joined the L.A. caravan
Hopped a train to San Francisco
Hungry like a ramblin’ man
Found a woman there who loved me
A soft and gentle place to land
But every now and then the lonely lash
Stays tightly welded to my hand
Look at him go
The Blue-Eyed Renegade
The plans he never made
Someday I’ll know
Who I’m supposed to be
And you’ll get the best of me
I spend my evenings tied down to the muse
Hoping I’ll find something I can use
Wrap the words around a melody
Try to trust the life been given me
Look at him go
The Blue-Eyed Renegade
The price that he has payed
Someday I’ll know
Who I’m supposed to be
And you’ll get the best of me
