Walking down a lost highway
Looking for someone going my way
Came across an old soldier
Said his name was Ray Bolger
The Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz"
Said he'd join me without a pause
Within walking distance
Within walking distance
Within walking distance from here
Ray asked about the road I'm on
Said I was a trust-fund vagabond
He nodded and said that's OK
All he ever did was make hay
Like the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz"
He had learned to live with his flaws
No there is nothing
No there is nothing
And no man needs nothing
I left lot of places in the dust
Just to satisfy my wanderlust
So many people and so many names
And all of them gone down in flames
But no matter where I hide
Can't fill up this empty feeling inside
