lyrics

I wanna go where the yellow corn grows
Stand in the shade of an old oak tree
I wanna go where the whistle blows
And ride that train until I’m free

I wanna go where the green grass grows
Picking cat tails down by the stream
I wanna go where the river flows
And sail away right out to sea

I wanna go where the cool breeze blows
I wanna squish that sand beneath my toes
I wanna go where the pale moon glows
And lights the night so I can see

Life is a long, long dream
A dream is just a short life

My spirit hides on a mountain side
Near a one room cabin I call my home
When I climb to the top
I shake hands with the sun
And we smile down at the earth below

Look front to see my life before me
Look back to see what used to be
A head full of plans
And a dream in the hand
And the sound of the stream to comfort me

In the nighttime the sky is a silver screen
All the stars come out to comfort me
The full moon glows
And the cool breeze blows me
A song from a band of coyotes
