From the recording Fortunes Told
Lyrics
I was walking on down by 167
When an angel pulled over said she’s driving up to heaven
I looked down at the ground
Didn’t know what to say
I said thank you ma’am but I’m not heading that way
Not heading that way
I’m not heading that way
When I’m not lost I don’t need to be found
Sometimes I want nobody around
I got my bags on my back
My shoes on my feet
I got my eyes on the road and I’m walking in the heat
Walking in the heat
I’m walking in the heat
You don’t really need a destination
To do the right thing
Make the right decision
To love or be loved
To help a friend
Does it really matter where you wind up in the end
I might end up where I’m better known
Though I have been forgotten in the place where I was born
There I was loved
But still I ran away
I try not to look back but what can I say
What can I say
What can I say
This road will take me down to Abbeville
I’ll rest there for a while and lay among the daffodils
Some people dream of heaven
Because they’re so afraid of hell
But where my path will take me only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
You don’t really need a destination
To do the right thing
Or make the right decision
To love or be loved
Or to help a friend
Does it really matter where you wind up in the end
Only time will tell
Meet me on down in Abbeville
We’ll lay among the daffodils
Some people dream of heaven
