And it's run for the roses As fast as you can Your fate is delivered Your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime In a lifetime of chance And … - Dan Fogelberg

Dusty day dawning
Three hours late
Open the curtains
And let the rest wait
My mind goes running
Three thousand miles east
I may miss the harvest
But I won't miss the feast...
And it looks like you're gonna
Have to see me again...
Cause I've got a woman
Who waits for me there
And I need a breath of that Sweet country air

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man.
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.

I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall
Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all...
You better change
Before the sun goes down
You better leave
Before you are the last in town
You better raise
Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down!
