Well he left for Monterey they say
They think he’ll be home by Friday
Took a day bag and dog-eared book
He left home without a single look
Got a ticket for the greyhound bus
He never was one to make a fuss
Sat his old bones in a window seat
Where the inside and the outside meet
F Am G F
And he looked at life that played out for all to see
Tried the remember being free
He prayed for strangers and friends the same
Figured Jesus would know their name
Friday came and Friday went
I’m reading the letter he sent
He’s not coming back it seems
Something about dying dreams
He’s gone searching for lost souls
Like those that hide down in dark holes
The power of a helping hand
For those who can’t he’ll make a stand
