Just me and a friend roaming around

Him a magician and I was a clown

Playing the streets for a dollar a day

On a razor's edge on a grain of sand

Bm G D
On a roll of the dice we headed out west
A Bm
Where the sage and the spice attracted us
G D
Shadows fell down like a dark groping hand
A Bm
Saw the teeth of the wolves and the blood of the lambs
Bm G D
On a turn of the cards I lightened my load
A Bm
Throwing off fear for the weakness it holds
G D
On target and calm the vision was clear
A Bm
Beyond the mirage I took for granted was here

Bm G D
On a flip of the coins we rode the coast
A Bm
Trying to make the most of every situation

That we witnessed near at hand

On a drifter's crusade all over the land

Could it be in the stars or in the passing of cars

At a table in the bar in a turn of the cards

In a change of your mind in the passing of time
A Bm
In a ribbon of rhyme just down the line
