Lyrics
[VERSE]
I found a friend in Jesse
Met him at the borderline
Hiking on a desert road at Easter Time
He had a certain glow that drew me
A truck sped past my toes
A dust-cloud rose
[VERSE]
Across that barren crossroad
He waved me down
We took our backpacks off and sat there on the ground
I told him of bad roads and wrong turns
He knew the ones I meant
Didn’t seem concerned
[CHORUS]
Jesse said he knew of a better way
And if I followed him there’d come a day
Our feet would meet the edge of a Great Plain
And the view would be worth the price he paid
[VERSE]
Though I never trusted strangers
He didn’t seem like one
Jesse had an ease, like the sun
And since I had lost my direction
Jesse led the way
Heh, he even paid
[VERSE]
Up ahead I saw it plainly
From about a quarter mile
At the crest of a plateau, something vile
Down the back of my neck, a bead of cold sweat
The vision grew more grotesque
With every step
[CHORUS]
Jesse said he knew of a better way
And if I followed him there’d come a day
Our feet would meet the edge of a Great Plain
And the view would be worth the price he paid
The vision grew more grotesque
With every step
[CHORUS]
Jesse said he knew of a better way
And if I followed him there’d come a day
Our feet would meet the edge of a Great Plain
And the view would be worth the price he paid
BRIDGE:
At the top of that plateau a great cross rose
And the vision of that truck sped past my toes
Standing on a nail, he looked down
And the blood that paid my way ran from his crown
And the grave that I stood in was my own
And the most heavenly view lay just beyond
[CHORUS]
Jesse said he knew of a better way
And if I followed him there’d come a day
Our feet would meet the edge of a Great Plain
And the view would be worth the price he paid
[END]
I found a friend in Jesse
Met him at the borderline
Hiking on a desert road at Easter Time
[HUGE CHORUS]
Jesse said he knew of a better way
And if I followed him there’d come a day
Our feet would meet the edge of a Great Plain
And the view would be worth the price he paid
[ACAPELLA]
I found a friend in Jesse
Met him at the borderline
Hiking on a desert road at Easter Time
[END]
