A mod ern day war ri or, mean, mean stride. To day’s Tom Saw yer, mean, mean pride. Though his mind is not for rent don’t put him down as ar ro gant. His re serve, a qui dis et de fense, he rid ing out the day’s per e vents: the riv er. What you say a bout his com pa ny is what you say a bout so ci e ty. Catch the mist, ness, catch the myth, catch the mys t’ry, catch the drift. (B5)The world is, the world is. (A5)Love and (Gsus2)life are (B5)deep, (A5)may be as his (Gsus2)skies (A5)are (E5)wide. To day’s Tom Saw yer, he gets high on you. And the space he in vades, he gets by on you. Ex it the war ri or. To day’s Tom Saw yer, he gets high on you. And the en er gy you trade he gets right on to the fric tion of the day.
