Left my job, I was spent, then paid two months rent Bought an open end ticket, hopped on a train Through midnight mountains, next stop windy city And when I saw bison, I felt my heartbeat again Got lost in great stories from whom I thought plain folks And plenty of others I met on the way Gave into the strange and the beautiful scenery My little life fading with each word they'd say Went camping with strangers and caught a few dollies Played sugar pack checkers while the city awakes A detour through Canada, last minute Vegas Shot cans in the washes with my newfound friends And up on some mountain so far away I knew this was where I was supposed to be Complete peace, peace, peace A free lift up Route 1 when stranded at Big Sur Standing room only to see War and Peace A wake up to laughter and a chocolate happy cake A time to reflect over Japanese tea Before on my way home, a huge double rainbow Oh, daddy I want you to know I'm okay To give up my false sense of security I'd gladly do it, in a minute again someday Then up on some mountain so far away I knew this was where I was supposed to be Complete peace, peace Someday, someday Complete peace, complete peace, complete peace
