John Mellencamp Follow

Well, I heard the bells of freedom
As I was comin' down the road, comin' down the road
And I follow that echo wherever it goes
I was comin' down the road

But there always seemed to be trouble in my past
I found my hands tied behind my back
As I was comin' down the road, comin' down the road

Well, I heard the truth, call my name
As I was comin' down the road, comin' down the road
And I followed that voice to the valley below
As I was comin' 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
And I was comin' down the road, comin' down the road

And I saw myself for a second as I really am

And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose
As I was comin' down the road

I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me
And I wasn't the fellow that I thought I'd be
As I was comin' down the road, comin' down the road

I saw you out my window you was wondering along
As I was comin' down the road
And I raised my hand as if to say hello
As I was comin' 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 is all a lie
Somewhere down the road, somewhere down the road
