Zion's Garden

I first left my home when I was just ten years old Wandering around the plains in Oklahoma Didn't have no money, didn't have nowhere to go But I won't look back, my life's the open road Rushed my way to the hills of South Dakota Carved into the mountain, I saw those stony eyes I giggled at the thought of wasted freedom They whispered back, "Please dream responsibly" And I was 26 in Tennessee, with a sweet-eyed girl staring back at me Said she heard me talking 'bout adventure I said, "Honey come on let's go, But I warn you don't go slow- I won't look back, my life's the open road" Made our way to Texas for a while Sitting around a fire, we drank a little wine Then just nine months later, I met my Mary Lou Just another kid under the stars We hitchhiked up to Utah and made ourselves a home Wake up in the back of Zion's Garden But my loves, I cannot stay here, I feel the itch to roam I can't look back, my life's the open road Now I'm getting older and I'm alone And I still think of Mary Lou and how she might have grown She looks just like her mother in my mind's eye I guess that I'm still young enough to cry Oh America, America, what will you do with me? I'm lonely when I look up at the night sky It's a blessing and a curse to always be so free But don't look back, 'cause life's the open road Yeah don't look back, 'cause life's the open road
