In the Way Songtext

von Tift Merritt

The road ahead looks clear and straight from far away.
Closer in, the weeds and briars grow in the way.

Sometimes pressing through the shadows, I find a little shade.
Sometimes my heart is all I got, sometimes my heart gets in the way.

One day I'll never be lonely.
Oh yeah, it will really be something.
Turn around and nothing will be in my way.
Maybe it's today. I don't see nothing in the way.

I know there is a short cut here we all know how to take,
But something way down in my bones gets in the way.

In the reaches, in the wanting, somewhere beyond names
Where that river sings with all good things, put me right in the way.

One day, I'll never be lonely.
Oh yeah, it will really be something.
Turn around and nothing will be in my way.
Clear as day
I don't see nothing in the way.
