lyrics

Every step I’ve taken
Has taken me this far
In one town I’m a beggar
In the next I am a star

Been torn up from the gravel
From the glory and the grind
On a crooked road traveled
That is not for the honest kind

The roadmap is highlighted
As new wrinkles in the mirror
Is it me or does it seem
I’ve aged twice alone in the year?

Since I threw my care
And caution to the wind
Now I’m weatherworn
From where I’ve been

Met my flaws and I fought with sin
Now I’m weatherworn

Now my sympathy is crying
With the passing midnight train
On a convoy of lost dreamers
I know well that graffiti tag

I read one author’s writing
Of a wild and reckless need
To live a life in a mad world
And to write all he wished he never seen

He threw his care
And caution to the wind
He grew weatherworn
From where he’s been

Wrote haikus for
The shape he was in
Writing weatherworn

Close your weary eyes
Heed to the good advice
Focus on the ground beneath
Don’t dwell on the pavement behind

And if you ever turn around
Before the shadows rot
Take with you what was gained
Forget everything that was lost

A tender touch awaits
Under that callus skin of yours
It reveals a different fate
After being weatherworn
