Wrote myself a sad song a million years ago It took off down a road I couldn’t predict With wild kicks and crazy kicks Spent a lot of miles building up my name Driving through the wind and the rain Working that circuit that has no end Looking out for danger round the twisted bends Now I’m back home for a while with a smile And my garden’s full of summer weather Gonna keep on with the work tho it sometimes hurts When you’re looking at the fields of forever Looking at the fields of forever Lived myself some lives a long time back Took me down some strange dark tracks Good times and troubles you would not believe Fighting through a jungle full of pirates and thieves Used a lot of money running from the truth Didn’t add up to nothin but the blues Didn’t ever fall but I sometimes stumbled Always got up when I heard the wheels rumble Now I’m back home etc Now I’ve been singing that same number For as long as I can remember People still love that sound Of the night coming down Gonna sing that song for a million years Gonna sing that song for a thousand years I’m back home etc
