take me far away

take me down the muddy mud track

take me down the dirty road

i would like to hold your hand there

i would like to see Tom Joad

i would tell him things are different

i would tell him they're the same

he was speaking to the chorus

before the fire left the flame

take me down to the cathedral

i will sit inside and sing

tell me jesus is a savior

i will believe most anything

(chorus)

take me, take me down

take me, take me all the way

take me, take for instance

for instance

take me far away

take me far away

i will walk to denver

greet it with an open heart

greetings to all who live in denver

hope i arrive before it's dark

dragons do not fly in denver

they walk around like everyone else

yield to them the right of way, yes

and everything should turn out well

(chorus)

take me, take me down

take me, take me all the way

take me, take for instance

for instance

take me far away

take me far away

take me down to the cathedral

i will sit inside and sing

tell me jesus is a savior

i will believe most anything

(chorus)

take me, take me down

take me, take me all the way

take me, take for instance

for instance

take me far away

take me far away
