Chasing the Light by Old Fart with a Guitar

Chasing the Light Old Fart with a Guitar With all the bad news and all the bad vibes And the battle lines drawn between the tribes, I was lathered up, hosed down, spun around and hung out to dry. Still, life goes on at 60 years an hour And I wondered if I’d wasted my time, Cause there was so much sorrow I was running out of tears to cry… Til one day a small stone thrown by a small fry Up n hit a giant right between the eyes, He was too tall, the big fall cut him down to regular size And when he hit the ground the whole world was lifted by The vision he was blocking from sight It was a double barreled rainbow Following an angel in flight And there’s big yellow sunrise spreading out across the horizon, I’m gonna try and hitch a ride when that heavenly engine ignites So if you see me on the roadside please don’t worry If I’m standing with my thumb to the sky I’m not running from the darkness, I’m just chasing the light. I’m done pouring time into a bucket of holes I’m done casting shadows of doubt on my soul Gotta change my position, start fishing with a different pole Cause life keeps going at 60 years an hour But if I catch it by the end of the road I’ll find that double barreled rainbow Shining on a mountain of gold And there’s a big red sunset spreading out across the horizon I’m gonna follow it and see if it really is a sailor’s delight So if you see me from shoreline please don’t worry If I’m waving as I sink out of sight I’m not falling over the edge I’m just chasing the light I’m not falling over the edge I’m just chasing the light…
