Rollin' down the road towards a place that once I thought I'd call my home
Now the only thing that matters is a place to bury your next bone
And all your critics tell you that the best thing that you've done's been done before
And all those pretty vultures wait around and bide their time and file their clause
Well I know what's coming ash for me, I know what's been a smash with me
I know what's been an extra dose of just another crush for me
I know the only time when something really mattered all that much to me
I'm headin' back towards a place where once there was a heart and soul for me
And all these pretty debutantes, they make a pass but clearly they can't see
But there is no one still who holds a can, who holds a torch to what you've been
And think about it, I'm headin' back towards a place where once there was a heart and soul for me
And all these things that once made sense make me confess that now I'm blinded completely
Well I know what's been the best for me, I know what stands the test for me
I know what lights the fire and what denies the funeral pyre for me
And what becomes of those who go on living though they're yearning to be free
And all these paths I've taken, I know what's coming ash for me

I know what I chose, and all these signs I know
And all these faults my own, and all these ways back home
I'm headin' back towards a place where once there was a heart and soul for me
And all these pretty debutantes, they make a pass but clearly they can't see
But clearly they're yearning to be free

I know what lights the fire and what denies the funeral pyre for me
And what becomes of those who go on living though they're yearning to be free
And all these paths I've taken, I know what stands the test for me
I know what stands the test for me
I know what lights the fire and what denies the funeral pyre for me
And what becomes of those who go on living though they're yearning to be free
And what becomes of those who go on living though they're yearning to be free
What becomes of those who go on living though they're yearning to be free
They're yearning to be free
