He took to the streets with his canvas bag
Half a loaf of bread inside and a bottle of red wine
Knew which way to go under streetlight's fog
Down by the riverside to look into the gypsy's glass eye
Twisting in a socket answers for a pocket full of gold

"la la la" he sings into a cheerful merry tune
Tossed a coin and thanked the gypsy for the blissful truth
Gypsy
"look at the open road
Them look at your inner soul
Watch all life converge in one dream
Watch every sunrise bring the night
To the other side of the globe! "

He starts hitching rides, southbound he goes
Looking for his rainbow's gold
And finally escaping from the cold
But now on the skids money running low
Now far away from home
Huddling under his raincoat
Hunger breaks him to the bone
And them he breaks into a grocer's

Police officer
"nah nah nah, you cannot break
Into someone's household!
I'm sorry boy but you've just been arrested! "


The rougue
"out of whatever womb into whatever tomb
The weight of existence
Is much heavier than life itself could ever bear to be! "
