Verse 1:
Hitched a ride with a stateside guy
On his way to Birmingham
He spoke in Californian,
His side-kick was a get-out plan
He smelled of soap and motor oil,
His clothes were clean but threadbare
His Wayfarers gleamed in the lights
And all his words just hung there

He said, "My name is Moses."

Verse 2:
He told us 'bout the Philly thing
With one hand on the wheel
The findings and the cover-ups,
He made it seem so real
He was driving on the left,
We was driving right
He dropped us at a Wimpy bar
In the middle of the night

He said, "My name is Moses."

Chorus:
And we were at the starting blocks
Of our wild and crazy ride
He looked to us as if his end was nigh
The things he told us chilled us
And stayed with us through life
They pierced us then
And cut us
With a double-bladed knife

Bridge:
He said;
"They opened up a hole in time
I lost my friends,
I lost my mind
They opened up a hole in time
I could see, but they were blind
They opened up a hole in time
Being there,
My only crime
They took my past
And burned it down
And I'm living on borrowed time…"
"My name is Moses."

Verse 3:
The Mustang rumbled out of sight
Vanished without a trace
But every truth he told us then
Was etched upon his face
And we listened like two innocents
At the driving seat of learning
Sharing souls for peace of mind
At that ring-tailed devil’s sermon

Some things have changed,
Some have remained
And some have passed away
But Moses keeps on running like the wind

Outro: His name was Moses...
