Janey had been drinkin' / Down at the local bar
Tryin' to get some insight on / Just which way and just how far
I rented me a hotel room / It felt like a dried up well
And that's when I met Janey / In our parallel private hells.
Chorus
It was a tragic fait accompli / A down-and-out circus clown
When I roamed the streets and alleys / Of our spirit-less Ghost Town.
Well I loaned her a quarter / Then I gave her my last dime
I woke up singin' cowboy songs / You know the ones that don't even rhyme
Ya see Janey was tryin' to get out of this race / But all she found was a one-way door
And I wondered if there was any Grace / Left in this world anymore.
Chorus
Then I met some folks back up in the hills / They had a heart as big as a house
And I had walked back into the woods / Still searchin' for some way out
Ya see I didn't believe that all of this hard work / Was gonna heal the hole in my heart
And I didn't want what and who I loved / And me to be torn apart.
But I didn't know my own boundaries / I was a prisoner in my own skin
And doin' what they told me / Had been keepin' me locked in
But back up in my hotel room / My guitar had a dream
It dreamed of dancing in the light / When we are all redeemed
(a capella)
And it told me that the Universe / Had some Master Plan
And it whispered that the Infinite / Dwells in the Heart of Man.
Chorus 2x
