To the east to the east

The road beneath my feet

To the west to the west

I haven't got there yet

And to the north to the north

Never to be caught

To the south to the south

My time is running out



Ever since my childhood I've been scared I've been afraid

Of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place

So I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored

Somewhere secret somewhere safe

And somewhere close to the door



Well I've traveled many countries I've washed my feet in many seas

I've drunk with grifters in Vienna and with punks in old dc

And I've driven across deserts driven by the irony

That only being shackled to the the road could ever I be free



Chorus

To the east to the east

The road beneath my feet

To the west to the west

I haven't got there yet

And to the north to the north

Never to be caught

To the south to the south

My time is running out



I've felt old before my time but now I keep the age away

By burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days

And the nights a thousand nights I've played

And a thousand more to go

Before I take a breath and steal myself

For the next one thousand shows



Chorus

To the east to the east

The road beneath my feet

To the west to the west

I haven't got there yet

And to the north to the north

Never to be caught

To the south to the south

My time is running out



Yes so saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry

Cause the truth is you won't be here long

Yeah soon your going to die

To the heart, to the heart there's no time for you to waste

You wont find your precious answers now by staying in one place

Yeah by giving up the chase



Chorus

To the east to the east

The road beneath my feet

To the west to the west

I haven't got there yet

And to the north to the north

Never to be caught

To the south to the south

My time is running out

To the south to the south

My time is running out

To the south to the south

My time is running out



I face the horizon everywhere I go

I face the horizon the horizon is my home

I face the horizon everywhere I go

I face the horizon the horizon is my home
