Lyrics
Freeway
Set out of town, I was bound for discovery
Knowing to well that I?m bound to a life that leads me
Up and down the same still ground as yesterday
When on the side of the road looking lost and hurt
Stood a woman staring down at a bag in the dirt
With a thumb in the air saying take me anywhere away from here
Now I'm not a man who holds some dark agenda
I was taught that one should be a friend
To people in distress, much less in need
So hop on in, where you headed?
She forced a smile and what she said told me that
She'd come far but had many miles to go
She said find me a freeway
It's been so long since I've been free
I'm trying to find my way
And I wouldn?t mind the company
She stared outside trying to hide in the passing splendor
While deep inside trying to find where her heart would send her
Scared as hell, she would tell her story in her own time
When, at last, came the words they took her by surprise
For fear had fled her voice and longing filled her eyes
And with each spoken word you know
I?d swear that I'd heard this all before
She said: Have you ever lost your way
Like someone else had come and seized your day
Your moment in the sun
You never took the chance to grab that ring
Well now I've left my home, I?ve quit my nine to five
To find there's more to my life than just being alive
And, no, I don't know where or even if out there's a place for me
Till I find me a freeway
It's been so long since I've been free
I?m trying to find my way
And I wouldn't mind the company
I have put one hundred thousand miles on this old Ford
I?ve seen the same ground every day five thousand times or more
Instead of watching life go by, each day as those before
I could have been around the world so many times,
Oh lord ! Oh lord !
Set out of town I was bound for discovery
Not knowing where this beating heart would send me
Where will it send me?
