I'm sitting down
by the highway
Down by
that highway side
Everybody's
going somewhere
Riding just
as fast as
they can ride
I guess they've
got a lot to do
Before they can
rest assured
Their lives
are justified
Pray to God
for me baby
He can
let me slide
I've been up
And down this
highway
Far as my
eyes can see
No matter
how fast I run
I can never seem
To get away
from me
No matter
where I am
I can't
help thinking
I'm just
a day away
From where
I want to be
Now I'm
running home baby
Like a river
to the sea
Baby if you
can see me
Out across
this wilderness
There's just
one thing
I was hoping
you might guess
Baby you can
free me
All in the power of
Your sweet tenderness
I can see it
in your eyes
You've got
those bright
baby blues
You don't see
what you've
got to gain
But you don't
like to lose
You watch yourself
from the sidelines
Like your
life is a game
You don't
mind playing
To keep
yourself amused
I don't mean to
be cruel baby
But you're
looking confused
Baby if you
can hear me
Turn down
your radio
There's just
one thing
I want you
to know
When you've
been near me
I've felt the love
Stirring in my soul
It's so hard
to come by
That feeling
of peace
This friend
of mine said
Close your eyes
And try
a few of these
I thought I was
flying like a bird
So far
above my sorrow
When I looked down
I was standing
on my knees
Now I need someone
to help me
Someone to
help me please
Baby if you
need me
Like I know
I need you
There's just
one thing
I'll ask
you to do
Take my hand
and lead me
To the hole in
your garden wall
And pull
me through
Pull me through
