Lyrics

The road's been long, I'm out of here
The vision is strong, my mind is clear
Old friends pass by to shout a last farewell

From rags to riches, from east to west
No prisoners taken, no time to rest
I'm on a quest to find the last hooray

Doubts dispelled, principles jettisoned along the way
On this final day of summer
No rules to follow, no pills to swallow, all liabilities paid
On this final day of summer

And through the jungle, across the plains
Through gale-force winds, torrential rain
Each muscle hurts but I cannot feel the pain

And when I've reached the Promised Land
With meadows green, auriferous sands
I'll send a postcard, so baby don't you cry

Doubts dispelled, principles jettisoned along the way
On this final day of summer
No rules to follow, no pills to swallow, all liabilities paid
On this final day of summer

'Cause now I'm free, I have lost the pain
And all that fuss, I broke the chains
That kept me tight on the inside for so long
