Tirtha Yatra Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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', watch 'em play out inside my head

I'd go to Kurukshetra

You know, I couldn't even tell you 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

[Chorus]

I'd go to all the places

Where Nurada stood

I'd read the Bhagavad Gita

I'd read the song by God

[Verse 2]

You know the Bhagavad Gita

You know the Gita'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 of your time

But anyways, I read it

I read it to the credits, and Vyasa 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

[Chorus]

It taught me all about Dharma

The thing I ought to do

'Til the big man dances and starts it all anew (Start again)

[Chorus]

It taught me all about Dharma

The thing I ought to do

Until the big man dances and starts it all anew

[Verse 3]

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 Indra 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

[Chorus]

We'd play Louisville Breakdown

We'd play Shelvin Rock

We'd sing Hare Krishna

We'd play a song by God
