Out On The Road

Out on the road in the early morning
Exercising my free will choice
Which way will I turn my longing
Everyday is a brand new voice

Easy rise and a easy fallin
The road is rolling at a gentle pace
Sky above and the earth below me
Everything I need is in its place.

2)
Saw a man in a big Mercedes
Drivin by at a frantic pace
Looked like a puppet on the strings of time
Shadow of the world upon his face

Had a pretty girl sitting there beside him
Collagen lips and silicone tits
Hadn’t a clue where she was going
Driving next to someone who though he did

(Chorus)

Eieh Yeih Yeh
Well I thank the Lord this road is so wide
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Just a Country Boy out here for a ride

3)
Headin down to Natchez on a Sunday morning
Looking for a map and a bottle of beer
Motor was a hummin and the pipes were roaring
Sounds like music to my ears

Stopped into a store where he called me a sinner
Guess I was looking to laid back
38 special, bottle of whisky, Bible on the shelf behind his back
I bought me some longnecks
Wrote him a bad check
Walked out the door and gave him a wave
Never argue with a fool on a Sunday morning
Out on the road I’m already saved.


(B-Section Meditation)

Unknown the Shadows in my mind
Somehow they get left behind
All that has been renews
I Am before the choices I choose

I can see the Great Design
Hear the voices between the lines
Anthems from the Silent Sound
Unveils rapture all around

Fall away the hidden cords
Time’s temptation I ignore
All my thinking decodes
Feel myself back on the road

Smiling for no reasons Known
Like a child chasing his shadow
We’re headin straight on Now
We’re headin straight on Now

For the Mother-Lode


4) Out on the road no one can own me
Dancin to a music I can’t define
Clamor of the experts fall around me
Nothing in this world I call my guide




Never let another man tell you who you are
Freedom is something you find inside
Out on the road I got everything I need
Got my name, got my friends
And I’m always right


(Chorus)

Eieh Yeih Yeh
Well I thank the Lord this road is so wide
Eieh Yeih Yeh
Just a Country Boy out here for a ride


(Repeat verse 1)


Out on the road in the early morning
Exercising my free will choice
Which way will I turn my longing
Everyday is a brand new voice

Easy rise and a easy fallin
The road is rolling at a gentle pace
Sky above and the earth below me
Everything I need is in its place.
