Tune Down 1/2 Step
Verse I:
I'm sitting down by the highway
Down by that highway side.
Everybody's going somewhere
Riding just as fast as they can ride.
I guess they've 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.
Verse II:
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 feeling I'm just a day away
From where I want to be.
Now, I'm running home, Baby
Like a river to the sea.
Refrain:
Baby, if you can see me
Out across this wilderness
There's just one thing
I was hoping you might guess.
Baby, you can free me
All in the power of your sweet tenderness.
Yeah, yeah!!
Chorus:
I can see it in your eyes
You've got those bright, baby blues.
You don't see what you've got to gain
But you don't like to lose.
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life was a game you don't mind playing
To keep yourself amused.
I don't mean to be cruel, Baby
But you're looking confused.
Refrain II:
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
Yeah, Yeah!! Yes I have!!
Break:
Verse III:
It's so hard to come by that feeling of peace.
(spoken) This friend of mine said
"Close your eyes, 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.
Now, I need someone to help me
Someone to help me, please.
Final Refrain:
Baby, if you need me
Like I know I need you.
There's just one thing
I'll ask you to do
Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through.
Pull me through....
