Bigdumbhick - I Don't Know Where I'm Going (Remastered Version)
I was headed down the highway, when I passed by this old man
He was walking down the shoulder had a guitar in his hand
I circled back around and I told him hop on in
If you'll tell me where your headed to I'll help you if I can
He said I don't know where I'm going, but I'll tell you where I've been
And one thing that I've found out is you can't go back again
So I'm headed down this highway, gonna find out where it ends
Maybe sing some sad old songs and make some brand new friends
We stopped off at a roadhouse down by the interstate
I bought us both some dinner, we sat and talked there while we ate
He told me about his life and his years upon the road
The people that he met and the stories that they told
He said I once knew a woman who's hair was flaming red
She picked me up and fed me, then she took me to her bed
She told me about her husband who'd been now three years dead
I held while she cried about the things she wished she'd said
You know I don't own nothing but my clothes and this guitar
But a man who ain't got nothing is freer than a man who has it all
I always seem to come up with enough to get me by
There's more to life than chasing that dollar til you die
I want to thank you for the kindness that you've shown to this old man
I'd like to ask you for a favor, won't you help me if you can
Keep on spreading kindness as you travel down this road
Stick your hand out to a stranger, try to help him with his load
Perhaps we'll meet again in that sweet by and by
There at the pearly gates where this road ends up in the sky
And the good Lord there will smile about the way we spent our days
Spreading love and kindness to those we met along our way
We said our goodbyes and I headed back the way I came
And suddenly I realized my life would never be the same
And I don't know where I'm going but I'll tell you were Ive been
I'll sing some sad old songs and maybe make some brand new friends
