Make My Stand
the winds are kicking up around me now
i can feel them brush and scrape me
got a feelin' life's about to change
ain't a thing that can last forever..
i been a loner for far too long now
on my own in a cold dark world-but
i been thinkin' 'bout a trip back home
Heaven and Earth in one place..
i wanna take a trip across that ocean
try to find me a piece of land
a wooden palace on an evergreen landscape
with a river so my kids can play..
i'd like to live on a California hillside
Pine trees, rocks and things..
me and my lady got a few small dreams
from up above earth look so fine..
lotta folks say they don't like rain
lotta people are afraid of pain
i ain't afraid of a little bit o' thunder
i like to watch when the lightning strike...
i ain't sure about a whole lotta things, but-
i know jesus was a peaceful man
gettin' tired of the chasin', racin'..
i need a place i can
make my stand.
