Tales of Time
(soft music) (birds chirping) (crowd cheering) (percussive music) - [Narrator] We wanderers ever seeking the lonelier way begin no day where we have ended another day.
And no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Even while the earth sleeps, we travel.
We are the seeds of the tenacious plant and it is in our ripeness, our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.
So, come with me on my journey.
(soft rock music) (crowd cheering) (soft rock music continues) (upbeat rock music) I've been all the way around the world There and back a time or two Been all the way around the world There and back again a time or two That road that leads me home Brings me back to the blues I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane Miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane Still winking at hard times Smiling at the pouring rain I've seen 1000 city lights From Austin to Saskatoon Seen 1000 city lights From Austin to Saskatoon I've seen them shouting from the aisles Howling at the shining moon I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I'm the kinda man that takes a lump or two Tilt your world back now you have a clue Try to get one over, I got some news for you When you poke the bear you're bound to lose I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane Got some miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I'm still winking at hard times Smiling at the pouring rain (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (crowd cheering) (upbeat rock music

might not lead me home Brings me back to the blues I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I'm the kinda man that takes a lump or two Tilt your world back now you have a clue Try to get one over, I got some news for you When you poke the bear you're bound to lose I got miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane Miles under my wheels Notches in my walkin' cane I'm still winking at hard times Smiling at the pouring rain (crowd cheering) (upbeat rock music) Well, I rolled the dice, baby I'm left out all alone I was lost in a shuffle, babe Lost and halfway gone I know you and that vengeful woman inside Wore out my welcome, I knew when to step aside Time is the healer that rescued me The blues led to the bottle That landed me on the street When it's raining down with worry And you know it's too late It's the train that never comes And the heart that never waits So I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on We used to be perfect, baby I saw love in your eyes Put my wild days behind me I thought I had arrived The gods must have heard, I guess I spoke too soon They had other plans, just not for me and you Time is the healer that rescued me The blues led to the bottle That landed me on the street When it's raining down with worry And you know it's too late It's the train that never comes It's heart that never waits So I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on (upbeat rock music continues) Look over there, thinking you are all that Wrapped around my finger, to find out it's all an act I see through you woman and that sweet masquerade What do you want from me All you do is throw me shade Time is the healer that rescued me The blues led to the bottle That landed me on the street When it's raining down with worry And you know it's too late It's the train that never comes And the heart that never waits So I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on I'll be movin' on, movin' on, I'll be movin' on

(upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music continues) Burnt Skies And the trees are dead and grey After a map Of a war we never made My grandfather A railroad man Not afraid of right and wrong Or how to take a stand Into the fire Against the wind Up and down and back again Under the bridge Over the coals This is the march of a broken soul Step by step One by one You'll be counted on Lights go up So don't be late For the curtain call 'Cause I've never been the type to seize the moment It's not too late While breaking down the old bricks in the wall Dusty town South of Mandalay Where she still lives to this day Tears are hot And the trail's gone cold Those demons follow me Wherever I go Into the fire Against the wind Up and down and back again Under the bridge Over the coals This is the march of a broken soul Step by step One by one You'll be counted on Lights go up So don't be late For the curtain call 'Cause I've never been the type to seize the moment It's not too late While

(crowd cheering) (crowd cheering) (upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music continues) I was never a great puncher of time clocks I was never the one who had lots I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing rings A heart can't heal once padlocked I was never meant the one who was tedious I was always wanted to be the one who leads us On things that came to mind, never on someone else's dime As the hunter says to the fox And the rain soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long away from the docks I was never a good puncher of time clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks I was never a good teller of stories Didn't need to thrive on the glory It's about the life of a man, victim time and time again Hard as hell to get up in the morning And the rain soaking through my coat It's about to capsize my boat I push it a long away from the docks Never a good puncher of time clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks Regrets to stoke the fires Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps Too scared to go down in the deep (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) (upbeat rock music continues) Make no illusions about your forgone conclusions Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds If the darkness sets in, creeps up on you Like a man typecast the fool And the rain soaking through my coat About to capsize my boat I push it a long away from the docks I was never a good puncher of time clocks As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks (singers vocalizing) As the rain has chilled me to the bone I'm flat-out tired and alone I put it away, now it's locked I was never a good puncher of time clocks (upbeat rock music continues) (crowd cheering) (crowd cheering continues) (upbeat electronic music) (upbeat electronic music continues) (upbeat electronic music continues) (upbeat electronic music continues) (wind whooshing) (footsteps thudding) - Hmm.
