[Chorus:]
All I want to do is climb that mountain;
All I need is the other way
All I am is a lost soul, searchin'
All I have is today

I was walkin' through the sands of silver to the Saphire canyon on the River of Jade
I was followin' a gold sun settin' when suddenly the light began to fade

[Chorus]

I was ridin' in a black Tornado with the top pulled down and the lights on dim.
I heard angels singin' in the darkness, singin' some Southern gospel hymn

[Chorus]

I was thinkin' "bout a man and woman who were tryin' to make a livin' that Sammy wouldn't steal.
I should tell ya if I haven't told ya, this is exactly how I feel

[Chorus]
