Both Ways

There's a road outside, I hear the wheels go rolling through the rain And I hear you off in the other room, you maybe said my name And a long and lonesome feeling goes down into my bones As I grab the bag by the kitchen door and I leave you there alone You know, freedom don't come easily Always hard and never free It hangs around a while but never stays But you go as far as you can go And hope the ones who love you know that Every road you travel runs both ways If you ever walked an open field, when night was falling down And you lifted up your eyes to see the heavens roll around Then you may have heard the voice I heard, a message from the sky There is so much more to life, than waiting 'round to die You know, freedom don't come easily Always hard and never free It hangs around a while but never stays But you go as far as you can go And hope the ones who love you know that Every road you travel runs both ways Now the history of everywhere is all written by the kings And the ordinary men like me have never wrote a thing So I'm gonna be a mockingbird, and I'll take off on the wing And I'll comfort lonely travelers with the homeward song I sing You know, freedom don't come easily Always hard and never free It hangs around a while but never stays But you go as far as you can go And hope the ones who love you know that Every road you travel runs both ways You know, freedom don't come easily Always hard and never free It hangs around a while but never stays But you go as far as you can go And hope the ones who love you know that Every road you travel runs both ways Yes, every road you travel runs both ways
