The Road

To the east, to the east

The road beneath my feet

To the west, to the west

But 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

Ever since my childhood I've been scared, I've been afraid

Of being trapped by circumstance, staying in one place

So, I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored

Somewhere secret somewhere safe

And somewhere close to the door

Well, I've traveled many countries, 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

But 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

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

But 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

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 won't 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

But I haven't got there yet

And to the north, to the north

But I never will caught

To the south, to the south

My time is running out

Yeah, to the south, to the south

My time is running out

Yeah, 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 that I go

I face the horizon, the horizon is my home
