lyrics
1st V:
They told him son don't get lost in a dream
Tried to get him to settle for safe as can be
Said if you paint by the numbers you'll get ahead
But he wouldn't do it, took the long way instead
Chorus:
It's a blind man's bliss heading into the sun
On the edge of a mountain afraid of no one
Making his way off the well beaten track
A few bucks in his pocket and a trusty road map
He's never felt nothing finer than this
It feels like freedom it's a blind man's bliss
2nd V:
Caution twists in the wind like the leaves in the fall
His adventurous spirit learns from it all
Yeah he's done a few things that he might regret
But the moments that got him there he won't forget
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
They could learn a lesson from the blind man's bliss
A second that's passed could be living that's missed
(repeat chorus)
