I'm sitting down by the highway
|
Down by that highway side
|
Everybody's going somewhere
|
Riding just as fast as they can ride
|
I guess they've got a lot to do
|
Before they can rest assured
|
Their lives are justified
|
Pray to God for me baby
|
He can let me slide
|
|
'Cause I've been up and down this highway
|
Far as my eyes can see
|
No matter how fast I run
|
I can never seem to get away from me
|
No matter where I am
|
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
|
From where I want to be
|
Now I'm running home baby
|
Like a river to the sea
|
|
Baby if you can see me
|
Out across this wilderness
|
There's just one thing
|
I was hoping you might guess
|
Baby you can free me
|
All in the power of your sweet tenderness
|
|
I can see it in your eyes
|
You've got those bright baby blues
|
You don't see what you've got to gain
|
But you don't like to lose
|
You watch yourself from the sidelines
|
Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
|
To keep yourself amused
|
I don't mean to be cruel baby
|
But you're looking confused
|
|
Baby if you can hear me
|
Turn down your radio
|
There's just one thing
|
I want you to know
|
When you've been near me
|
I've felt the love stirring in my soul
|
|
It's so hard to come by
|
That feeling of peace
|
This friend of mine said
|
"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
|
I thought I flying like a bird
|
So far above my sorrow
|
But when I looked down
|
I was standing on my knees
|
Now I need someone to help me
|
Someone to help me please
|
|
Baby if you need me
|
Like I know I need you
|
There's just one thing
|
I'll ask you to do
|
Take my hand and lead me
|
To the hole in your garden wall
|
And pull me through
|
