Come to town, ask around, no one knows him
That's not to say they ain't seen him around
Like a habit familiar and dull
Or a sunbeam just not quite as bold
A forgotten way of thinking, that doesn't fit into any mold
And ends up floating in the lost and found
And ancient secrets still hold sway
On long lost highways
When you're out there with no sense of time
You got nothing to lose, and everything to find
Come to town, ask around, no one's seen him
That's not to say he don't wanna be seen
And like the infinite scope of the sky
Or a stirring of stillness, with no question why
The songs stuck in your head, no matter how hard you try
You just don't quite know what it means
And ancient secrets still hold sway
On long lost highways
When you're living without a dime
You got nothing to lose, and everything to find
Come to town, ask around, try and find him
Oh but asking wont do you no good
And if every door you come to is locked
Simply reach out and give a knock
You can let yourself in, but don't expect to find him
'Cause it was you, you were looking for all along
And ancient secrets still hold sway
On long lost highways
Like an outlaw ain't got no crime
Well you got nothing to lose, and everything to find
