Then I’m dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart still beating, still beating Breaking out of my body and flying away like a bat out of Hell ---

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, “This could be Heaven or this could be Hell” ---

There’s freedom within~There’s freedom without~Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup~There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost~But you’ll never see the end of the road when you’re traveling with me~Hey now,hey now don’t dream it’s over~Hey now, hey now when the world comes in~They come, they come~To build a wall between us~We know they won’t win ---

Now I wheel myself down to the crossroads of town, To see the young girls and their lovers. And my mind is afire, it’s alive with desire, Christ, I’d barely begun, now it’s over. In my wheelchair for life, my mechanical wife, I’m supposed to be cheerful and stoic. I’m your old tried-and-true, Yankee Doodle to you, Clean-cut, paralyzed and heroic. I was born on the fourth of July No one more loyal than I. When my country said so, I was ready to go. And I wish I’d been left there to die.
