I see the bodies strewn along the way
Belong to those who paid the price and those who couldn't pay
Social security's a joke
You gotta swim if you can't float
Fight or you'll get slain
I hear the buzzards craving one more meal
They want to pick my bones clean before I seal the deal
With every foolish path I take
Every turn along the way
Lessons are revealed
There's no roadmap in the sky
But I won't stop I'll keep trying
CHORUS
I'm gonna ride until sundown
No one's gonna show me the way back home
I'm gonna ride until sundown
Now I see I have to make it on my own
Now salvation's close enough to touch
Asking for directions was not enough
I dodged the dead ends, I missed the sinking sand
Now I'm headed for the promised land
Yeah I'm headed for the promised land
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
