Long Shot

Smell of freedom, taste of dust
 City of gold or bust
 Said my goodbyes
 Ain't goin' back now
 Such a strange and scenic route
 To tryin' on that big town suit
 There comes a time
 For steppin' out
 Oh, I'm takin' that long shot
 Maybe scratch this itch I've got
 You never know
 Oh, kick the pedal down all the way
 Ain't waitin' on someday
 Here I go
 Took a ride through the heart of the beast
 Dark detours, sparkling streets
 I saw the light
 Then I saw it scatter
 Fortune's smile is a fickle thing
 King to pauper, pauper to King
 But I'm still here
 And that's all that matters
 Hear the sound of that tail-wind blow
 New day pullin' me down the road
 Playin' my life on the radio
 I heard about dreams scrapin' the sky
 Sweet angels singin' all night for a song
 That's where I belong
