Woke with a dream in the back of my head
About 50 years ago
A runaway band in a greyhound station
a misfit traveling show

No Destination couldn’t go home
No real place to go
Run away in the dead of the night
Begin a life out on the road

Why did I run
Why did I cry
No place to go
No wings to fly

Daddy’s back from a war
With those voices in his head
An Angry man filled with pride
A broken family man

Was it wrong the children ask
He keeps it inside
The kids just see the brutality
And then the angels cried

Why did he fight
Why did they die
No legs to run
And No wings to fly

Where do they go
When the church bells ring
Why they don’t laugh
Why they don’t sing no more
I ran out the door

I ran out the door

Why did they fight
Why did they fight
Why did they die
Why did they die
No legs to run
No Wings to fly
Where do they go
When the church bells ring
Why they don’t laugh
Why they don’t sing no more
No more they sing

Why did I run
Why did I fight
No place to go
No Wings to fly
