  • Well I came out swinging at the center field wall
    And I caught a fast ball and touched them all
    But I burned down my engines needed to break
    Where all that's required is the time that we take

    Now I'm done doing nothing, I'm weary of rest
    And I've got to get back to the quest

    I've ran out of reasons for laying so low
    My memories will stay but my body must go
    Back to the thunder, the rock and the eagle
    And the truths on my love, only time will reveal

    And I've just been forgiven and I'm all confessed
    So I've got to get back to the quest

    In one hand a ticket, in the other, a bag
    Times have been good, it makes goodbye a drag
    But I wasn't born to be standing still alone
    You know one day my tombstone will say,"Born to be gone"

    Now my posse is waiting out to the west
    Yes, it's time to get back to the quest
    Time to get back to the quest Writer/s: JOHN GOODWIN
