Lyrics:
I wanna go to India
Put faces to paper
Put visuals to words that I’ve read


Get a better understandin’ of the culture that’s surroundin’
All the scriptures I’ve been poundin’ watchin’ play out inside my head


I’d go to Kuru Sectura
You know I couldn’t even tell if I am or not pronouncin’ it right
But comin’ from a cousin lovin’ clubfoot somethin’ somethin’
Backwood searcher I would hope that you’d admire the try


I’d go to all the places
Where Nurada stood
I’d read the Bgavat Ghita
I’d read the song by God


You know the Bgavat Ghita
You know the Ghita’s just a chapter in an epic ‘bout a footbridge wide
I’d love to tell ya ‘bout it though I’m ‘fraid it’d take forever
I’m ‘fraid it’d take forever and I’d hate to take up all your time


But anyways I read it
I read it to the credits and … wrote it masterfully
It took a little under two years for me to make it through
But now I’m here and tellin’ you it changed me metaphysically


It taught me all about Dharma
The thing I ought to do
Til the big man dances and starts it all anew


It taught me all about Dharma
The thing I ought to do
Until the big man dances and starts it all anew


I wanna Tirtha Yatra
Roll like the pandavas with my brothers and my mom and wife
All the boys could bring their ladies cause the one that Indrid gave me
Is the momma to my babies and I ain’t about to split my nights


It wouldn’t be all different
To how we’re actually livin’ ‘cept we’d leave behind all our merch
But we’d bring along our fiddles, basses and rental guitars and mandolins
Cause that’s the way that Dharma works


We’d play Louisville Breakdown
We’d play Shelvin Rock
We’d sing Hare Krishna
We’d play a song by God
