LAND OF NO ROADS

Wandering through the heat of the desert
My skin and heart could just crack
My hope has almost run empty
Got to go forward I can never go back

The banks bent the rules 'til I snapped
And the lake of my youth's been sucked dry
My parents have done all that they could
And now it is my time to try

Try to push through this land of no roads
I don't know how or where to go
What rules will get me through
This land of no roads?

There's a lot hard work to do out here
It is good work that will take everyone
There's no resting in peace with the state that it's in
We've got to right the wrongs to hand it on

Got to learn from the way that the saltbush
Survives in the shade of my wreck
Got to hear the folk that are listening
I've got to take from the ones who take less

To get through this land of no roads
I don't know how and where to go
What route will get me through
This land of no roads?

I sit and stare into the stars tonight
As the evening breeze blows the flames high
Then sweeps away my footprints into the dunes
Where the rest of them lie

Journeys come and gone through this land of no roads
We will find just how and where to go
I can only make it with you
Through this land of no roads
