I'm sittin' down by the highway   Down by that highway side   Everybody's goin' somewhere   Ridin' just as fast as they could ride      I guess they got a lot to do   Before they can rest assured   Their lives are justified   Pray to God for me, babe, he can let me slide      Well, 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 thinkin', I'm just a day away   Where I wanna be   Now I'm runnin' home, baby   Like a river to the sea      Baby, if you could see me   Out across this wilderness   There's just one thing   I was hopin' you might guess      Baby, you can free me   All in the power of your sweet tenderness   Yeah, yeah      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 playin', to keep yourself amused   I don't mean to be cruel, babe   But you're lookin', 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   Stirrin' in my soul, yeah, yeah, yes I have      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 flyin' like a bird   So far above my sorrow   But when I looked down   I was standin' 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
