lyrics

Late last night I changed my mind
Decided I would pack it in
I stashed my dreams and my busted heart
My hopes that I would ever win
Well I hit the road in my beat-up van
Had to get myself right out of town
Said farewell to my sleeping kid
No, I just didn't want to bring her down

Say goodbye, bye to all I've known
Say hello to the far country
I know that I, I am all alone
Way out here in the far country

I drove along 'bout a thousand miles
Till my van went and blew a rod
The mechanic said it'd cost a thousand bucks
I took the name in vain of my god
So I hitched a ride with a guy named Fred
Said he was headed to a cult out West
He wanted to know if I would go along
Told him I would join him on his quest

Fred and I we found a home
With seventy virgins at our beck and call
We built an empire with our own four hands
Next week we break ground for a mall
