The Road and the Sky Songtext

von Jackson Browne

THE ROAD AND THE SKY

When we come to place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was gonna have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide

Well I spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well
And I can hear my dreams ringing clear as a bell
I used to know where they ended and the world began
But now it's getting hard to tell
I could be just around the corner from Heaven or a miel from Hell

I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind a wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
Gonna get a little higher
And see if I can hotwire reality

Can you see those dark cloud gathering up ahead
They're gonna wash this planet clean like the bible said
Now you can hold on steady, try to be ready
But everybody's gonna get wet
Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet

I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
Gonna get a little higher
And see if I can hotwire reality
