The Mule

We packed our bags, we headed north
Through the Taconic, not gonna be this color anymore
Will we be safe, will we be warm?
If only I knew a way to keep you from that prison door

Halfway to go through a hundred miles of trail
We're not alone, but a face feels like a fairy tale
He says "Hey boys I've only got 3 more days before I'm done with this goddamn thing
And can't wait to see my wife again"

Well my friend, the credits due
My journey's just begun
In your older age you're pushing through
Through trail names & fire light
A momentary tribe
But i'll never see you again come morning light

So juxtaposed
The start fantasized the end
Is it how far you go?
Or the fortitude you gain within?
Some walk on searching for a purpose, companionship, or nothing all
Some crave ancestral roots again

So I'll just keep on walking 'till I know
