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
