Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry and I left the timbers where they lay

Verses 3+4. (Same as first two.)

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky and when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die (Interlude again then that cool little riff).
