John Mellencamp - Coming Down The Road

C
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 id 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 didnt 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
