I was riding down the highway when I thought I spotted someone in the road   I said, "You going my way?"   And he turned his head and said, "Man, I don't know."   So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh   And I asked him, "What you running from?"   And he said, "My man, I'm running from my past."      And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud   And then we drank a brew   I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.   I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.   There's no need to come around unless you're true.   Someone in the road      Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and a half.   The way that we were moving left half myself reflecting in the past.   Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and started walking down a path.   Lifted spirits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts.      And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud   And then we drank a brew   I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.   I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.   There's no need to come around unless you're true.   Someone in the road
