Lyrics

Lost Horizon

Driving through on a desert highway, Interstate 51
Coming up on an old gas station, its paint peeling in the sun
A sign swings on rusty hinges and a dog plays in the sand
An old man smiles a wrinkled grin and he wants to know how I am

Does he dream just like me?
Do you think he needs the things I need?
Does he see all the world in its pain?
Could we ever be the same?

(chorus)
I?m on a Lost Horizon risin?
I?m on a Lost Horizon found
Where Old Man Joe?s just sitting in the sun
And leaving his cares behind
I?m on a Lost Horizon risin?
I?m on a Lost Horizon found
I?m gonna brings that Lost Horizon back to tinsel town

Coming up on the lights of Angel streaking red and white
Pulling in to a 7-11 with a bright green neon sign
And I?m still thinking ?bout the man with the dog and the land and the smile
Whille I?m staring at the bins of trash and the smog burning up to the sky

An old man stumbles up to me, says, ?Sister, can you spare a dime??
I push back and I start to walk, but something makes me turn around
His eyes are the same warm shade of green as the man in the desert sun
Maybe he?s Joe in a different world and his desert is a concrete one

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)
I?m on a Lost Horizon risin?
I?m on a Lost Horizon found
Where Young Man Joe?s just sitting in his car
And cranking his tunes up loud
I?m on a Lost Horizon risin?
I?m on a Lost Horizon found
Maybe the Lost Horizon?s the same back in tinsel town

Coming back to the weight of my life, moving through the grind
Ringing phones and bills to pay, gotta make it to the goal on time
Well I look to the future like some savior with a golden crown
So worried ?bout getting somewhere that I forget to live right now

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
