Hard to go Wandern'

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (8-24-04)

 

Rob the doorman says I should live

In Yellow springs- Antioch College

Stand on any street corner

Open up my case and sing

One day I might go travel there

One day I might go travelin' like Woody did

One day I might hit the road

But I got too much to live for here

 

You make it hard to go wandern'

I found all I need with you

You make it hard to go wandering

With all the little things that you do

 

I want to get the message out

There are ears that need to here the words

There are chances for change in our times

There's hope to be heard

But I can't lose myself in this mission

I don't want to lose you too

So I'm gonna stay close to the fires of a home

Warm my heart tonight with you

 

You make it hard to go wandern'

I found all I need with you

You make it hard to go wandering

With all the little things that you do

 

They say

Pick up and dash away

Pick up and dash away

I'm never gonna listen to what they say

Pick up and dash away

Pick up and dash away

I think I'm gonna stay

 

Freedom they say can take many forms

Freedom can be the hardest thing anyone can find

But I've found my freedom right here

I can roam for days looking in your eyes

So let the world keep spinning on

Like I could ever try to get it to stop

I'm just gone sit and spin with it now

With you in my arms and in my heart

 

You make it hard to go wandering

It isn't hard for anyone to see

Just spending time together with you

Melts the restless wandering spirit in me

 

You make it hard to go wandern'

I found all I need with you

You make it hard to go wandering

I finally found something that's true

 

Well I got me a home, I've finally found

A place to grow roots, I know where I'm bound

I just wanna live with you on this small piece of ground

I got me a home, I was lost- now I am found
