I'm sittin' down by the highway down by that highway side
Everybody's going somewhere riding just as fast as they can ride
I guess they got a lot to do before they
Can rest assured their lives are justified
Pray to God for me, baby, He can let me slide
'Cause 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 thinking
I'm just a day away from where I want to be
Now I'm running home, baby, like a river to the sea
Baby, if you can see me out across this wilderness
There's just one thing I was hoping you would guess
Baby, you can free me all in the power of your sweet tenderness
You're real bright, baby, you got those bright baby blues
Too much of the mansion you can gain
Not enough you're sure that you can lose
If you ever stop wondering what you're living for
You'll have to think of a whole new question to keep yourself amused
I don't mean to be cruel, baby, but you're looking 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 felt the love stirring in my soul
It's so hard to come by that feeling of peace
Friend of mine said to me, "Close your eyes
Open your mouth and try a few of these"
I thought I was flying like a bird so far above my sorrow
But when I looked down, I was standing on my knees
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
