Well I met a man
Who studied classical guitar
He had high hopes
To be world renowned
But then he got drafted to Vietnam
Spent ten years with a uniform on
When he came home to all of the hate
He unpacked his guitar
And he started to play
His dream was broken
But he wore a smile
I wish we'd had a few more miles
(Something out there saved you, shadow man)
I met a woman from purple mountain majesty
She talked about moose
And how she grew apple trees
And she was getting along just fine
She loves her guns and she gives desert tours
She showed me canyons
And I spilt crumbs in the floor
Of her
Shuttle van
I think she knows it was me
There's this guy
He's a shadow man
Won't catch him
Without
A drink in his hand
And he loves to drive... he loves to drive
Parks the car
Turns off the headlights
Fumblin' around
For the house key
He's not proud at all
But
A little surprised
That everything is fine
(Something out there saved you, shadow man)
This is what its like when strangers drive me
