Story behind the song
I was handing out religious tracts in the winter of 1983 downtown Wash DC. I was walkin past a man on the sidewalk - and I said "How are you?" He passed by me a few steps then turned around and asked "Do you really care?" I turned and said "Yes sir I do." We sat and talked for awhile - It was my intention to teach that old guy somethin that day - as it turned out, I was student instead.
Lyrics
i saw an old man walkin' down a road.
i said, "sir how are u today?"
he said, "i'm fine and if you really wanna know
i can teach you to feel this way. oh..."
he tipped his hat and he pulled his overcoat
and he blew his hot breath into the cold
he said, "i found a treasure map, a treasure map of old"
He said "son do you wanna go home?"
then he took a little time
and said what was on his mind
he said "son, are you listenin'?"
"life's an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
so i drove on the old man in my head
and the treasure map lyin' on the floor
then i lit a cigarette and pondered what he said
turned the car and headed for home
and now i take a little time
and i say what's on my mind
son are you listenin'?
yeah life's an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
time to hoist the sails
reach your destiny
don't you wanna go home?
SOLO
v that's why i take a little time
and i say what's on my mind
son are you listenin'?
yeah lifes an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
