I met him one day in the Rockies
  Where the night air tasted like wine
  The winter was hard and had me starving
  When the two of them found me in time
  
  Then one night I crashed north of Reno
  I'd been on the road too long
  Then I woke to the warmth of her fire
  And the sweet welcome home of his song
  
  It was the California Kid and Remo
  Lending me a helping hand
  It was the California Kid and Remo
  Teaching me to love
  And teaching me to live off the land
  
  I thanked them and headed for Oregon
  The trees were the walls of my home
  But the rain soaked my bones every morning
  And the chill made me feel more alone
  
  And just when I thought I should end it
  The world didn't need men like me
  My mind heard the song of my two friends
  And the sun started shining on me
