Lyrics
I rode down your highways
Played cards with some of your gods
Kicked a long stone at sunset
Watched the ways you smile and nod
You smile and nod
It's a righteous life we're leading friends
Heavy dues, pay the fee
But no one else notices
Destiny except the free, except the free
You can tell it in a smile sometimes
Arrogance, body and soul
Smiling at some stranger
Like a tarot deck card fool
It's a righteous life we're leading friends
Heavy dues, pay the fee
But no one else notices
Destiny except the free, except the free
Stories that they're weaving now
Are part fiction, sometimes worse
You can tell where the real part ends
And it's time to ask for truth, to ask for truth
To ask for truth
It's a righteous life we're leading friends
Heavy dues, pay the fee
But no one else notices
Destiny except the free, except the free
Writer(s): Paula Stone
