The Road (Acoustic)

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 of 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 washed my feet in many seas

I've drank with grifters in Vienna and with punks in old D C

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 steel 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

To the north to the north never to be caught

To the south to the south my time is running out

So saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry

'Cause the truth is you won't be here long yeah soon you're 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 I never will be 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
