LION ON THE ROAD
By Dan Blakeslee
05/29/10

It's dark here in the cavern though I'm sheltered by the rain.
The breeze I feel is the passin' of a train.
The only thing that''s worn out is what I'm wearing I suppose.
It's time for burning britches and buying brand new clothes.

Lion on the road...

I'm coming up from the cavern I'm skipping every other rung.
There's something outside callin' I'm headed into the sun.
The wind blew in a fortune which read “adventure is near”.
So I'm opening the atlas and dreaming far from here.

I'm gonna sell this lantern honey for a new light out there glows.
The walls I hit were many and now it's time for me to try the road.

Lion on the road...
