Lyrics
It was along the pleasant road when we came upon the tee
You asked me to come with you; I had to travel free.
I s'pose you had somewhere to go, but you'll be back, I know
Down the road, I'll meet you somewhere; We'll be where we want to be.
Travelin' Free.
It's been a rough and rocky road since I passed the last divide, You were standing next to me; somehow you left my side. Was I moving recklessly? Did you see what I would not see? You probably tried to tell me it wasn't where I'd want to be.
Travelin' Free. Ain't no crossroads ahead of me.
Travelin' Free. Pushin' on into the sun. Leavin' a trail by the way I bleed, somewhere that I don't want to be.
It's a never ending road, I do a lot of looking back.
But all I ever see are one set of lonely tracks.
I know this is the road I chose, how in hell was I to know I'd be down this road forever. Somewhere that I don't want to be.
Travelin' Free. Down the road that imprisons me.
Travelin' Free. Wearin' the shackles of my love.
Without the one that I really need To take me where I want to be.
Travelin' Free. Down the road that imprisons me.
Travelin' Free. Wearin' the shackles of my love.
Without the one that I really need To take me where I want to be.
