Well, I'm gone from Taos to El Paso
Gonna see my kin, yeah you know
Gonna play in my own mind again!
Gonna eat real well, get up with the dawn
Perspire this cold and then I'm rambling on!
From Taos to Texas honey, here we go!
In late August, I left my home
I rolled for a day to a promised zone
Now the summer ends
And my happy mind is blown
Well my heart beats strong
And Grace, she is my friend
Heading south to hot desert lands
And the folks I meet
They've got smiles through the pain
Well, I'm gone from Taos to El Paso
To see my kin, yeah you know
Gonna play in my own mind again!
Gonna eat real well, get up with the dawn
Perspire this cold and then I'm rambling on!
From Taos to Texas, honey, here we go!
Well, I rolled from Michigan to Colorado
A night with a yogi
And I thumbed for a day to Arroyo Hondo
A bus from the Springs, to Raton
And now to El Paso!
So in Denver, Colorado, I smoked Buddha's light
I rambled and I rolled all through that night
Ate a Green Day burger in Colorado Springs
I tried to hitch away, I couldn't make it swing
Well, I'm gone from Taos to El Paso
Gonna see my kin, yeah you know
Gonna play in my own mind again!
Gonna eat real well, get up with the dawn
Perspire this cold and now I'm rambling on!
From Taos to Texas, honey, here we go!
Now El Paso bound to see family
The ceiling's collapse and out come bees!
Monsoon's remnants hits, the rain and the breeze
Hurricane in the desert and to home I leave!
Well, I hitched with hippies and cowboys too
I stayed in Baba's home and sacred wind blew
I meet great people, and they dig me too
And that is rambling on
Well, I went from Taos to El Paso
I saw my family, yeah you know
Oh, I played in my own mind again!
I ate real well, I got up with the sun
Perspired this cold, now I'm traveling on
From Texas to the upper hand, yeah
Here we go!
