The Year John Ford Saved My Life
Rewind the film once more so I can breathe
So I can see Jimmy Stewart save all the decent in me
Murdered dreams and railroad tracks
Love and progress in the promised land
America is an open bar on a muddy road
Like a quiet man pretending to be back
To a land of green that only exists in his mind
Was born once but died twice
I feel free at this no man's land
We can dance at Layla's all night
Who knows, if these nights will get me killed
Who knows, if I'll ever get some sleep again
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
The year John Ford saved my life
If this is all we get from modern life
I'd better live in a world of delusional but beautiful art
Too much truth for just one heart
Purity and trust both dead inside
We can build up Nashville tonight
Who knows, if these nights will get me killed
Who knows, if I'll ever get some sleep again
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
The year John Ford saved my life
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
Gonna start it all round here
The year John Ford saved my life
So I can see Jimmy Stewart save all the decent in me
Murdered dreams and railroad tracks
Love and progress in the promised land
America is an open bar on a muddy road
Like a quiet man pretending to be back
To a land of green that only exists in his mind
Was born once but died twice
I feel free at this no man's land
We can dance at Layla's all night
Who knows, if these nights will get me killed
Who knows, if I'll ever get some sleep again
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
The year John Ford saved my life
If this is all we get from modern life
I'd better live in a world of delusional but beautiful art
Too much truth for just one heart
Purity and trust both dead inside
We can build up Nashville tonight
Who knows, if these nights will get me killed
Who knows, if I'll ever get some sleep again
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
The year John Ford saved my life
But I made it through that year
Maybe everything comes clear
Gonna start it all round here
The year John Ford saved my life
