lyrics

When I was a boy
maybe nine or ten
I felt the pull
to walk away from the cities of men
like Bill Bixby
I'd walk the land
like Bill Bixby

I'd change my name
and wash dishes
I'd kiss the girls
and see beautiful vistas
I'd see it all
fill and quiet my mind
like Bill Bixby

What I've seen of this world
I feel I've seen through glass
like my feet left the Earth
and never really touch land
and then cancer, cancer took the man
Cancer took Bill Bixby

Eleven Michigan miles
from the cabin to the dam
I found two feathers
and got a lay of the land
I felt like Bill Bixby

As my body aged
I grew accustom to wheels
I kept out of the sun
and grass never touched my heels
I lost the thread
but in the back of my mind
I kept Bill Bixby

It's far too late for these kinds of dreams
I work at eight and life stretches its seams
Silly boy leave this man alone
Bill Bixby was just an actor who called California home

Late last night
I felt the pull again
to take some time away
from the cities of men
to step off the wheels
and feel the land
find my Bill Bixby

Why did I wait
until my body had to fight
the truth of life
gravity is stronger than the mind
I will do everything I can
to find you Bill Bixby

I will find you Bill Bixby
