May the Road Rise to Meet You
I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
I got kingdoms in the sand, got me a walking man's blues
The sun on the horizon, coming into view
The sun on the horizon, morning breaking through
And I am burning down all my thoughts but you
May the road rise to meet you
May all your dreams come true
Except for the one about me and you
We never thought this through
That monster, better kill it before it grows
That monster, better kill it before it grows
You'll become that monster baby, you'll become it before you know
And so I went down to the crossroad, gonna make myself a deal
I went down to the crossroad, gonna make myself a deal
Well now I'm just gonna keep on walking, and you can just go to hell
May the road rise to meet you
May all your dreams come true
Except for the one about me and you
We never thought this through
And now the sky is falling, little pieces raining down
The sky is falling, little pieces raining down
When heaven comes to earth, somebody always drowns
Oh but I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
Yeah I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
I got kingdoms in the sand, got me a walking man's blues
May the road rise to meet you
And may all your dreams come true
May the road rise to meet you
And may all your dreams come true
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
I got kingdoms in the sand, got me a walking man's blues
The sun on the horizon, coming into view
The sun on the horizon, morning breaking through
And I am burning down all my thoughts but you
May the road rise to meet you
May all your dreams come true
Except for the one about me and you
We never thought this through
That monster, better kill it before it grows
That monster, better kill it before it grows
You'll become that monster baby, you'll become it before you know
And so I went down to the crossroad, gonna make myself a deal
I went down to the crossroad, gonna make myself a deal
Well now I'm just gonna keep on walking, and you can just go to hell
May the road rise to meet you
May all your dreams come true
Except for the one about me and you
We never thought this through
And now the sky is falling, little pieces raining down
The sky is falling, little pieces raining down
When heaven comes to earth, somebody always drowns
Oh but I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
Yeah I am not a rich man, I wear a rich man's shoes
I got kingdoms in the sand, got me a walking man's blues
May the road rise to meet you
And may all your dreams come true
May the road rise to meet you
And may all your dreams come true
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
May the road rise to meet you
