Come to town, ask around, no one knows him That's not to say they ain't seen him around Like a habit familiar and dull Or a sunbeam just not quite as bold A forgotten way of thinking, that doesn't fit into any mold And ends up floating in the lost and found
And ancient secrets still hold sway On long lost highways When you're out there with no sense of time You got nothing to lose, and everything to find
Come to town, ask around, no one's seen him That's not to say he don't wanna be seen And like the infinite scope of the sky Or a stirring of stillness, with no question why The songs stuck in your head, no matter how hard you try You just don't quite know what it means
And ancient secrets still hold sway On long lost highways When you're living without a dime You got nothing to lose, and everything to find
Come to town, ask around, try and find him Oh but asking wont do you no good And if every door you come to is locked Simply reach out and give a knock You can let yourself in, but don't expect to find him 'Cause it was you, you were looking for all along
And ancient secrets still hold sway On long lost highways Like an outlaw ain't got no crime Well you got nothing to lose, and everything to find
