Coming Down the Road

[Verse 1] Well, I heard the bells of freedom once As I was comin' down the road Comin' down the road And I followed that echo wherever it would go As I was comin' down the road But there always seemed to be trouble in my path I found my hands tied behind my back As I was comin' down the road Comin' down the road [Verse 2] Well, I heard the truth call my name As I was comin' down the road Comin' down the road And I followed that voice to the valley below As I was comin' down the road And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time I found some truth but it could never be mine And I was comin' down the road Comin' down the road [Verse 3] And I saw myself for a second as I really am As I was comin' down the road And I had to look away in disbelief, I suppose As I was comin' down the road I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me And I wasn't the fella that I thought I'd be As I was comin' down the road Comin' down the road [Verse 4] I saw you out my window as you was walkin' alone Comin' down the road And I raised my hand as if to say hello As I was comin' down the road But you didn't wave back, you just walked on by Alone by yourself 'til the day you die And I guess the truth and freedom before us all are lies Somewhere down the road Somewhere down the road
