The Backyard Of My Life
The Calico Kid Rides Again
A second chance is something he never thought he would get
So he grabbed it with both of his hands
Held it close to his heart where hope comes from
What a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by rainbows
After been covered in darkness for so long
Thinking to himself was it better when it was worst
Maybe he will try to turn the page and burn the book
Perched under a towering tree waiting for the night ship to come in
Tells himself its time to saddle up some horses
Then walk that crooked trail climb to the top of that mountain
Nothing changes the world quicker then a war
People change there minds faster then the weather
Every now and then you can be in the wrong place at the right time
Buried by blinding lights in the city of the sun
While he wonders if god is on his side
When he fell in the snake pit he came up wear-in leather shoes
A stranger offered him some shelter form the thunder storm
What a beautiful thing it is to be washed over with sunshine
After been abandoned to the cold cruel white winter
Pondering why hes been blessed to be such a lucky man
Maybe its the cosmic scales tipping after been out of balance
So sick and tired of being stuck inside a cloud in isolation
He jumps on to a mystery motorcycle under the blue misty moon
All roads lead to Rome searching for a pot of gold
And just like that he was gone with the wind
