Lyrics
There’s a burnt out streetlight down at the end of the road
Sometimes I go out there when I wanna be alone
It’s only in the middle of the night so you won’t hear the door close
I can tell that lately when you’ve been looking at me
The woman you see there, she’s who you want me to be
It’s only in the middle of the night that I start thinking ‘bout leaving
What if I just keep on walking
What’ll I do when the road runs out
What if it turns out that I don’t need you
What do I know about freedom anyhow
If I don’t go, how will I know
Nobody’s told how it’s supposed to be
Love is a crooked line, I’m learning that the truth ain’t free
If I’d known better I’d have run away but I’ve been tethered by a rope that I
couldn’t see
What if I just keep on walking
What’ll I do when the road runs out
What if it turns out that I don’t need you
What do I know about freedom anyhow
If I don’t go, how will I know
And what about the bird up there on the telephone wire
If she doesn’t want for freedom, how will she know to go higher
It’s just a lesson that I haven’t learned as I’ve been walking the life of a
liar
