Mississippi's arms move slowly
bourbon street on a sunday afternoon
beignets, you gotta love these blues
last week chicago
almost froze in place a couple of times
off to shuttle to a charter
london called at halfpast nine
 
i've been around and found
i've walked for miles
on this beaten path and borrowed ground
and it's time to put my feet down
in the company of you
 
this life is crazy
with weekend stints to nashville tennessee
only want to hold you closer
but europe's where they're sending me
oslo to bergen, norway
an all night train
cutting glaciers with the tracks
back down to paris
to meet someone and get my clothes back
 
i've been around and found
i've walked for miles
on this beaten path and borrowed ground
and it's time to put my feet down
 
you know so much better than i
and sense the things i can't see
and i smile while you throw me a line
all the soul that needs rescuing in me
 
angels in philadelphia
reflected in the ancient delaware
keep the door unlocked i promise
i can be so unaware but
 
i've been around and found
i've walked for miles
on this beaten path and borrowed ground
and it's time to put my foot down
 
i've been around and found
i've walked for miles
i've been tired, torn and beaten down
and it's time to build my life around
the company of you
