The Road lyrics
To the east, to the east, the road beneath my feet.
To the west, to the west, well I haven't got there yet.
To the north, to the north, never to be caught.
To the south, to the south, my time is running out.
Ever since my childhood I've been scared, I've been afraid,
Of being trapped by circumstances, staying in one place,
So I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored,
Somewhere secret, somewhere safe, somewhere close to the door.
Well I've travelled many contries, I've washed my feet in many seas,
I've drunk with drifters in Vienna and with punks in old DC.
And I've driven across deserts, driven by the irony,
That only being shackled to the road, could ever I be free.
To the east, to the east, the road beneath my feet.
To the west, to the west, well I haven't got there yet.
To the north, to the north, never to be caught.
To the south, to the south, my time is running out.
I've felt old before my time but now I keep the age away,
By burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days,
And the nights, a thousand nights I've played, a thousand more to go
Before I take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows
To the east, to the east, the road beneath my feet.
To the west, to the west, well I haven't got there yet.
To the north, to the north, never to be caught.
To the south, to the south, my time is running out.
Yes so saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry
Cause the truth is you won't be here long
Yeah soon your going to die
To the heart, to the heart there's no time for you to waste
You wont find your precious answers now by staying in one place
Yeah by giving up the chase
To the east to the east
The road beneath my feet
To the west to the west
I haven't got there yet
And to the north to the north
Never to be caught
To the south to the south
My time is running out
To the south to the south
My time is running out
To the south to the south
My time is running out
I face the horizon everywhere I go
I face the horizon the horizon is my home
I face the horizon everywhere I go
I face the horizon the horizon is my home
