To the east, to the east
|
The road beneath my feet
|
To the west, to the west
|
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, and 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 the road could ever I be free
|
|
To the east, to the east
|
The road beneath my feet
|
To the west, to the west
|
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
|
And 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
|
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
|
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
|
To the south, to the south
|
My time is running out
|
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 I go
|
I face the horizon, the horizon is my home
|
