ignorant man

i'm a country born

city-loving no one

i am only my father's son

you're an ounce of light

in an otherwise night

you are california someone

and you dress the part

and your record's clean

and you tell me to stand behind

my blind man's dream

say you know the way

say you won't hold me back

say you know the way

cause i'll find it on my own

i'm a sailor caught

in a hurricane's rage

i am set in my crazy ways

and you're a passerby

in the calm of its eye

and you tricked me to stay for days

and i know you're the one

i can see it clear

i look in your eyes

and my whole life appears

say you know the way

say you won't hold me back

say you know the way

cause i'll find it on my own

i want 80 years

of metals and tears

recognition of all my peers

and you had only asked

for the moment to last

so that happiness finds us here
