lyrics

I am going to sleep in a bed tonight, for the first time in a year
It's gonna have dozens of pillows and comforters waiting
And shades on the windows and life is amazing
And I might not beat the excitement and haziest dreams I have seen in my life

I have been walking Arizona for five long years
It's almost eight fucking hundred miles around
I had to share my water with cattle and busted my ankle
And ran from a bear in a serpentine angle
At eight thousand feet up above the sea level
And I wouldn't trade it at all

And I am going to sleep in a bed tonight, for the second time in over a year
It's gonna have an army of pillows and comforters waiting
And screens on the windows and life is amazing
And I might not sleep from the joy and the haziest dreams I have seen in my life

I have been waiting since October to end up here
This is my 22nd year on the road
I kind of blew out both my front tires
Imagined a fire and burned up my fingers on gas station lighters
And mingled with bums and professional liars
And I wouldn't trade it at all

And I am going to sleep in a bed tonight, for the third time since last year
It's set up with a couple of pillows and sheets for the taking
And double pane windows and it's still amazing
And I might not sleep from excitement and fear for the things I have seen in my life

I am the ghost of Pima County if that's not clear
I was alive when I was walking the coast
I had to make my way through El Centro and it was quite mental
I lost several people and banged up my elbows
And hid from the sun in the afternoon shadows
And I wouldn't trade it at all

And I am going to sleep in a bed tonight, for the first time in a year
It's gonna have dozens of pillows and comforters waiting
And shades on the windows and life is amazing
And I might not beat the excitement and haziest dreams I have seen in my life
The dreams I have seen in my life
Oh, all the dreams I have seen in my life
