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
