There's a touch that defies the wisdom that you've learned Yes, there's a touch that defies the wisdom that you've learned A pang that seizes in the night, and it burns o how it burns There's a map in your hand and a direction you can't speak Yeah, there's a map in your hand and a direction you can't speak And when you try to tell her of it, you know it makes you weak Then I spotted Tanto, Tanto said, “No I'm not he!” Thought I spotted Tanto, Tanto said, “Man, I'm not he!” If the wilderness has disappeared, how the hell can we break free? Once I met a girl, way too young and far too pretty One night I met a girl, she was way too young and far too pretty
So I kissed her on the cheek goodbye and thought, “Damn what a pity!” I'm heading back to Cali now, but I may just land in Texas Yes, I'm going back to Cali now, but I'll probably stop in Texas All because the old man swore, “You know Austin is the Nexus!” This song might make some sense to you, but then again I doubt it This song might make no sense to you, but then again I doubt it But if you know the truth by now, I pray to God that you won't shout it That was not the line to end on, yet I will end it anyway That was the perfect line to end on, yet I could end another way With so much love in my soul tonight, there's nothing left to say
