Carried my cross from dusk til dawn
I've burned every bridge that I've walked upon
One day I'm gonna find my higher home
I've had money, I've been destitute
Got drunk with the banker and the prostitute
One day I'm gonna find my higher home
I left home as soon as I got the chance
I tried to live my life like an old romance
But one day I'm gonna find my higher home
Now I've lived in the east and I've lived in the west
And I've left all the girls that loved me best
One day I'm gonna find my higher home
As a boy, I dreamt of growing up to ride
No one could change my mind, but mama tried
But one day I'm gonna find my higher home
I wanted a life with no regrets
But living this way, that's all you get
One day I'm gonna find my higher home
