lyrics

sometimes I meet this stranger in my dreams
he is weathered like those cigarette men on back of magazines’
when I meet him it’s ‘long familiar mountain streams
where I stop to wonder
He said how are ya doing?
ya tired of playing the fool
are you still haunted by the memories of
awful kids from school? do really think
that haunted kid will get you through
oh do you?

(You see) you’ll get tired of pushin
that stone up the road
its starts out like a pebble then it grows
grows into a boulder the size of the moon
til you wake up one morning to realize you’ve gotten stuck here
trying to move the world


I said, now wait a minute
you don’t know who I am
I’m the perfect composite of all my favorite men
and even some of my most favorite women
‘ no need to be concern’n
yourself with me
I’ve learned to hold the tension
‘tween justice and invention
theres really no distinction
Just get under the engine
gotta start to chance conditions
‘stead of all that blind wishin,
prayin's a lot like fishin

But you’ll get tired...

Well this stranger winks and keeps on
‘says there’s more to try
next you’ll learn to juggle
friends and lovers
hopes and bottom lines
and then you’ll learn to trick leveraging your time…

Well I got tired...

then I stumbled on this notion
I was flooded with emotion
the old man said let it go son
so we put the wheels in motion,
and let it roll
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll

yeah we let it roll
let it roll
tired of moving
tired of ruling the world
tired of moving the world
trying to move the world

sometimes i meet this stranger
in my dreams
