Well I heard the bells of freedom once
      F                 C
As I was coming down the road
F             C
Coming down the road
C                          F          C
And I followed that echo wherever it would go
         F            C
As I was coming down the road
             G              F            C
But there always seemed to be trouble in my path
              G             F            C
I found my hands tied behind my back
               F     C
As I was coming down the road
               F       C
Coming down the road

Well I heard the truth call my name
As I was coming down the road
Coming down the road
And I followed that voice to the valley below
As I was coming down the road
And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time
I found some truth but it could never be mine
As I was coming down the road
Coming down the road

And I saw myself for a second as I really am
As I was coming down the road
And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose
As I was coming down the road
I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me
And I wasnt the fella that I thought I’d be
As I was coming down the road
Coming down the road

I saw you out my window
As you was walking alone
Coming down the road
And I raised my hand as if to say hello
As I was coming down the road
But you didn’t wave back
You just walked on by
Alone by yourself
Till the day you die
And I guess the truth and freedom before us all lies
Somewhere down the road
