Smell of freedom, taste of dust City of gold or bust Said my goodbyes Ain't goin' back now Such a strange and scenic route To tryin' on that big town suit There comes a time For steppin' out Oh, I'm takin' that long shot Maybe scratch this itch I've got You never know Oh, kick the pedal down all the way Ain't waitin' on someday Here I go Took a ride through the heart of the beast Dark detours, sparkling streets I saw the light Then I saw it scatter Fortune's smile is a fickle thing King to pauper, pauper to King But I'm still here And that's all that matters Hear the sound of that tail-wind blow New day pullin' me down the road Playin' my life on the radio I heard about dreams scrapin' the sky Sweet angels singin' all night for a song That's where I belong
