Cross the World

[00:15.74] We had no idea what we were in for
[00:21.31] 3 boys trying to grow up strong
[00:24.97] But we all found great comfort in the music
[00:30.96] And the journey that carried us along
[00:36.42] We bought an old van, borrowed a drum set
[00:42.61] Got a $40 dollar bass from the farm next door
[00:48.65] Met a French Canadian in Rhode Island
[00:56.72] Who told us to keep our sticks down,
[01:00.57] Keep our heads up, and get a lil something far
[01:02.51] And we were trying to cross the world
[01:05.96] We were trying to cross the world
[01:09.59] We were trying to cross the world for what we had found
[01:13.40] Dropped the tranny in Effingham, Illinois
[01:26.17] Stealing gasoline in the freezing cold
[01:31.90] Once teenage friends
[01:36.63] Now struggling with the place where the sidewalk ends
[01:40.22] So we said goodbye in Boston,
[01:44.52] Let that dirty water roll on
[01:46.28] We were trying to cross the world
[01:50.51] We were trying to cross the world
[01:52.65] We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
[01:57.15] We were trying to cross the world
[02:01.55] We were trying to cross the world
[02:04.36] We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
[02:09.09] But then you all came out in New York
[02:29.73] For a country that was so far away
[02:33.62] I'll tell you, I'll tell you, there's an Elias in Zimbabwe
[02:42.53] Who is smiling to know that his message did not fade away
[02:48.58] And now we're trying to cross the world
[02:52.33] We were trying to cross the world
[02:55.51] We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
[03:01.13] We were trying to cross the world
[03:05.43] We were trying to cross the world
[03:08.18] We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
[03:12.28] We're trying, we're trying
[03:55.95]
