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 |
