Cross The World Lyrics by Dispatch

Location 13

2018

We had no idea what we were in for
3 boys trying to grow up strong
But we all found great comfort in music
And the journey that carried us along

We bought an old van, borrowed a drum set
Got a $40 dollar bass from the farm next door
Met a French Canadian in Rhode Island
Who told us to keep our sticks down, keep our heads up, and get a lil something for

And we were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world for what we had found

Dropped the tranny in Effingham, Illinois
Stealing gasoline in the freezing cold
Once teenage friends
Now struggling with the place where the sidewalk ends
So we said goodbye in Boston
With that dirty water rolling on

We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found

We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found

But then you all came out in New York
For a country that was so far away
I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, there’s an Elias in Zimbabwe
Who is smiling to know that his message did not fade away

And now we’re trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world
We were trying to cross the world for what we'd found
We’re trying, we’re trying
