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
Somewhere down the road
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
Somewhere down the road
