Tall and thin, he bends with the wind
At every place a body breaks he bends
And the stories, such stories he tells
From a view very few know well
Oh the humor, the insight, and the will to never age
He's a Texas troubadour, a California sage

He's deep inside a rhythm
He's deep inside a word
He's caught up in the majesty
Of everything he's heard
In one lifetime
He got more than he deserved
He's deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word

He comes and he goes
He knows what he knows
At every turn he will learn and grow
It's his nature, this burden to shine
Mixing flesh, with the heart and the mind
He's a poet in search of visceral delight
To wow the huddled masses, to finally get it right

He's deep inside a rhythm
He's deep inside a word
He's caught up in the majesty
Of everything he's heard
In one lifetime
He got more than he deserved
He's deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word
He'll be, deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word

Oh the humor, the insight,
And the will to never age
He's a Texas troubadour, a California sage

He's deep inside a rhythm
He's deep inside a word
He's caught up in the majesty
Of everything he's heard
In one lifetime
He got more than he deserved
He's deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word
Yes he's deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word

He's deep inside a rhythm, deep inside a word

Tall and thin, he bends with the wind
At every place a body breaks he bends
