I Was Hoping Video (MV)

I was hoping you'd ride with me west
And find my name
Even if it's ten feet down in clay
Maybe in the Midwest we can find ourselves a storm
I was hoping you could help me find my name
The movers and the shakers
They all broke me down
I got a number like a license plate
But their sirens they moan
To a burnin' family home
I was hoping you could help me find some place
And I know that I ain't got no canvas
Or a steel drum that they'd come marching to
But when sorrow hits my heart
My mind's its counterpart
And I was hoping you could help me change that too
Open up your eyes now I need them
This one is a winding-broken road
But the hero it ain't me
I don't have a law degree
I was hoping you could help me find some soul
And I know that I ain't got no canvas
Or a steel drum that they'd come marching to
But when sorrow hits my heart
My mind's its counterpart
And I was hoping you could help me change that too
I wish I'd never looked for what I've lost
The realest truth showed itself to me
These virtues I can't find
They were never really mine
I was hoping you could help to set me free
And I know that I ain't got no canvas
Or a steel drum that they'd come marching to
But when sorrow hits my heart
My mind's its counterpart
And I was hoping you could help me change that too
And I know that I ain't got no canvas
Or a steel drum that they'd come marching to
But when sorrow hits my heart
My mind's its counterpart
And I was hoping you could help me change that too
