lyrics

Crossed the Rockies in an old tin can,
I had nothing, no family, no friends.
The other side of a barren wasteland,
Crossed the Rockies in an old tin can.

In a world of nothing, I had it all:
An empty house and a bowling ball.
Spent my days in shopping malls,
In a world of nothing, I had it all.

Hold on for the morning light,
I hold on for dear life...
I'd settle for your ghost tonight,
I'd settle for your ghost...
I'd settle for the ghost of all the times we had in life;
I'd settle for a ghost of you.

When I reach the ocean, I'm going to lay it all down:
The thoughts I had but never wrote down;
The things I took from those who are gone,
When I reach the ocean, I'm going to lay it all down.

Hold on...
