Outlaws And Dreamers

The days and the hours swiftly turn into seasons
The weeks and the months quickly turn into years
The present is coloured by memories of childhood
Of heartache and happiness laughter and tears I’ve flown and I’ve driven long
miles by the million
Through desert and forest and high mountain range
Through pastures of plenty and dark city byways
A life on the move in boat, car and train Thirty five years of singing and
playing
Thirty five years of life on the road
Laughing at tyrants and spitting at despots
I’ve danced in the footsteps of men like Tom Joad They’ve called me an outlaw
they’ve called me a dreamer
They said I would change as I aged and grew old
That the memory would fade of the things I had lived through
That the flash fire of youth would slowly turn cold But I raise up my glass and
drink deep of its flame
To those who have gone who were links in the chain
And I give my soul’s promise I give my heart’s pledge
To outlaws and dreamers and life at the edge So here’s to the vision that binds
us together
That tears down the walls that would keep us apart
And here’s to the future where dreams will be honoured
And the fierce flame of freedom that burns in our hearts The fire is still
burning the future’s still calling
To follow the dream till the end of my days
Wishing’s for fools but dreams are for outlaws
Laughter’s for lovers and tears for the brave I raise up my glass and drink
deep of its flame
To those who have gone who were links in the chain
And I give my soul’s promise I give my heart’s pledge
To outlaws and dreamers and life at the edge
