On a dark and cold and windy night   A man left from his home   Said I’m going to find my fortune father,   Leave well enough alone.      He took off on a silver steed.   Ain’t never gonna look on back   Slept down by the water’s edge   By a railroad track.      {chorus}      Never let ’em go, never get away   Never let ’em go, never get away -   This I share with you.    Never let ’em go, never get away   Never let ’em go, never get away.      Some time has passed, some thoughts were thought   Some things will never change   Sometimes we move to find direction   Sometimes we stay the same      And on a cold and dreary evening   He woke to find a dream   Sang a song from sacred spaces   The best you ever seen      {chorus}      Seems to me in modest interest of self and betterment   The dreams you have you follow freely   And find yourself content      The man whose self, the man whose secrets    I share with you in part   Is following the road less taken   He’s following his heart      {chorus}      In times of doubt and misconception   That’s when we tend to run   Sippin’ on some Tennesse whiskey   Back turned towards the sun      And on a cold and dreary evening,   That’s where you’ll find your man   Lookin for a new horizon   A bottle in his hand
