Writers: Holly Knight/Grayson Hugh
Over the tops of mountains
over the western snow
watching the river wander
just a vein of silver far below
He’s leaving the lonesome city
flying out of the past
looking for the future
will it ever, ever, ever last
will it ever, ever, ever last
Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and frightened
all but stranded
on the road to freedom
Through so many bright clouds and skies
the world is watching you
and they’re dreaming with your eyes
You look out on the faces
as you stand up from your chair
but your eyes return to elsewhere
to the fires that are burning there
they’re burning, burning
burning there
Out on the road to freedom
some will stumble and some will fall
out on the road to freedom
lonely, tired and about to fall
out on the road to freedom
some will leave and some will stay
out on the road to freedom
it takes more than one to pave the way
on the road to freedom
hey baby
I want you to follow me
