Down from the mountains word would come
We would soon move to Oregon
Pulled from the ground of yesterday
Sell everything and move away

But it wasn't what we thought
And we rode the horse that Bud bought
We took that trip again, my friend

Ten of us formed a family
Jimmy and Jesus under siege
Follow the leader it would go
Stuck in a twisted puppet show

But it wasn't what we thought
And we rode the horse that Bud bought
We took that trip again, my friend

But it wasn't all for naught
Living in the house that Bud bought
We learned so very much back then

It was a burning bush of hungry souls
Trying to follow what our hearts were told
But a novice played upon our fears
And the whole thing screwed us up for years

We untied a holy knot
And we rode the horse that Bud bought

Prophecy came and we were gone
We would soon move from Oregon
Turning their backs on yesterday
Some of the others fell away
