Dalton Walsh

Dalton was the kind of man
That never would leave well enough alone
Dalton put his thumb to air
And took himself so far away from home

Dalton did you leave us
Cause you didn't like the way we treated you?
Dalton won't you need us
When you're penniless in sand in old Peru?

Dalton won't you need us
Dalton won't you need us
When you're penniless in sand in old Peru?
Yeah

Dalton took his napkin from the table
In a rest stop restaurant
He had such strange directions in his brain and head
About the things he thought

Oh Dalton took his hand
And flung it way into the air
Laughing at the life he'd led
But now he did not care

Floating from the sky and landing
Back into his hands
Dalton Walsh was set to be so free

Dalton won't you stay a while
Dalton won't you play a while
Dalton won't you give that smile to me

Dalton lifted up his eyes
And headed for a life in other land
He didn't have a place to sleep or food to eat
But he had both his hands

Dalton felt affection for the life he'd never led
Passionately dreaming but the words he never said
Now he's on the way to being who he's meant to be
Ahh Dalton always wanted to be free
