Leaving the river city, so far away
Dreaming over balmy nights and balmy days
Leaving our friends, and our security
Stepping out on our own
Well you never know

Twelve hours on a greyhound bus on a stormy night
I felt a chill that morning, baby when we arrived
Where will we go, then Lady Oscar appears from no-where
Took us by the hand and walked us home
Well you never know

Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place
Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place

What of the lady who asked for money, but turned down food
What of the baby who will never see the light of the world
Where will they go?
Aint no one gonna take them no-where, they dont even got a home
Not in this world

Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place
Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place

We pack up the falcon and we fly away
We seen God at every turn, didn't even realize it then
Where did he go?
Was he the wind that blew behind us? Carried us along that open road
Well see now you know

Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place
Hell of a night, its been a hell of a ride
At least babe if we gotta go home well have seen more than one place

Leaving the river city, so far away
Dreaming over balmy nights and balmy days
Leaving our friends, and our security
Stepping out on our own
Well you never know....... you never know
