On a dark and cold and windy night A man left from his home Said I’m going to find my fortune father, Leave well enough alone.

Never let ’em go, never get away Never let ’em go, never get away - This I share with you. Never let ’em go, never get away Never let ’em go, never get away.
Some time has passed, some thoughts were thought Some things will never change Sometimes we move to find direction Sometimes we stay the same
And on a cold and dreary evening He woke to find a dream Sang a song from sacred spaces The best you ever seen

The man whose self, the man whose secrets I share with you in part Is following the road less taken He’s following his heart
In times of doubt and misconception That’s when we tend to run Sippin’ on some Tennesse whiskey Back turned towards the sun
And on a cold and dreary evening, That’s where you’ll find your man Lookin for a new horizon A bottle in his hand
