lyrics

Wherever you go in them high holy hills
Take with you truth and the courage that thrills
And a dream compass packed like a lump in your breast—
And don’t let no doctor take it out till you’re ready to rest!
No, no—

Wherever you go in that pine-windey night
Take with you faith in a flinty light
And a lodestone calibrated to the ghost of the North Star—
And don’t let no lawyer charge you a leg nor an arm
No, no—

Wherever you go in that diesel dawn
Taking freight trains through the tunnel of a yawn
With a green amphetamine atop your head like a marigolden crown
And don’t let no police take it off when you’re waltzing through town!
No, no—

Whenever you go off that dinosaur cliff
Don’t you never forget what’s in your guts is a gift
And a light year scroll unraveling without rest
And tell that to the teacher when he puts you to the test!
(you bet)
Yeah tell that to the teacher when he puts you to the test!
