Someone in the Road

I was riding down the highway
When I thought I spotted someone in the road
Well I said, "You going my way?"
And he turned his head and said, "Man, I don't know"

So I asked about his government
He turned his head and then began to laugh
And I asked him, "What you running from?"
And he said, "My man, I'm running from my past"

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud and then we drank a brew
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through
No need to come around unless you're true, someone in the road

Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and a half
The way that we were moving left half myself reflecting in the past
Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and started walking down a path
I lift spirits to my heart, Lord knows that hatred will never lasts

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud and then we drank a brew
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through
I heard the loud, marching sound, revolution coming through

We laughed aloud, and sang aloud and then we drank a brew
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through
I heard the loud, marching sound, revolution coming through
No need to come around unless you're true

And we lied, been a pain
Then we're here, we'd be gone
Oh, I tried to live a life in love
Oh, I lied and we're here
And we were all lost
