(Music & Lyrics by Tom Levin)
Had chickens as a kid, named my favorite Goldie Hawn
Forgot to close the coop and the fox came in the dawn
I was crying my heart out as she died in my arms
I was taught to be careful, to keep it low key
With a wide open heart I could only be me
I was curious but shy and gracefully naive
I could never have imagined where my road would lead
Miss American smile I dated for a while, I was young then
I built walls in France, with Malcolm I danced in London
In Brazil I met the king, got a Maori tribe to sing my honor
And once I almost killed a horse in Palmer
Moments of love, moments of truth
Moments of life, led me to you
Fell a sleep during classes but I got my degree
Stumbled in graphics and racing on the sea
Somehow every detour leads to your heart
I met a princess from Burma, lost my money in Hong Kong
Was twenty-five in Sydney when I wrote my first song
And that song started something that would change my plan
With a world full of chance, I know how lucky I am
Claimed I was queer, Male artist of the year in the US
I flipped a race car, rode the mounted guard, I’ve been blessed
Dove the Barrier Reef, painted VIP sheep in Auckland
And once I almost killed a horse named Graceland
Moments of love, moments of truth
Moments of life, led me to you
Moments of love, moments of truth
Moments of life, led me to you
