Story behind the song
I was handing out religious tracts in the winter of 1983 downtown Wash DC. I was walkin past a man on the sidewalk - and I said "How are you?" He passed by me a few steps then turned around and asked "Do you really care?" I turned and said "Yes sir I do." We sat and talked for awhile - It was my intention to teach that old guy somethin that day - as it turned out, I was student instead.
Lyrics
i saw an old man walkin' down a road. i said, "sir how are u today?" he said, "i'm fine and if you really wanna know i can teach you to feel this way. oh..." he tipped his hat and he pulled his overcoat and he blew his hot breath into the cold he said, "i found a treasure map, a treasure map of old" He said "son do you wanna go home?" then he took a little time and said what was on his mind he said "son, are you listenin'?" "life's an open door you gotta reach the other shore, X is what your Missin' -go." so i drove on the old man in my head and the treasure map lyin' on the floor then i lit a cigarette and pondered what he said turned the car and headed for home and now i take a little time and i say what's on my mind son are you listenin'? yeah life's an open door you gotta reach the other shore, X is what your Missin' -go." time to hoist the sails reach your destiny don't you wanna go home? SOLO v that's why i take a little time and i say what's on my mind son are you listenin'? yeah lifes an open door you gotta reach the other shore, X is what your Missin' -go."
