Open Road

I've been around the country and I've seen a lot of things
Been down the road of heartache
Down the road of broken dreams
I'm just a gypsy foreign man whose wandering the world
In search of Holy Waters, so my soul can start to grow
And there ain't nothing else out there, besides the open road
So the open the road is where I go to calm my weary soul
Where the plains are long and open wide
And my demons can roam free
I've been wronged too many times by the same ones who taught me
(Melody)

So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around

I don't talk to many people, I don't have a lot of friends
But the ones who stayed behind me, are the ones who are still left
And believe me when I tell you, I can count them on my hands
At the the wrong place at the wrong time, learned a thing or two today
Ain't nobody gonna help you, only you can help yourself
Prayed to Jesus to come help me, but added weight onto myself
I'm still searching for the secret, for deliverance from me
So I can finally live a free man, and have nobody holding me
Where my head is battle free from me
And my demons they all leave
But until that day arrives, it's just the open road for me
(Melody)

So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around

You said, You would not ever, ever leave
But for a while, alone is how I feel
But still, I go in search of what is true
I know, one day, we'll meet and I'll see You

So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
So I'll see you by the river
When the dove is flying down
When the storm is moving out
When my demons have calmed down
I'll go down to the river then
Get baptized in the water man and turn my life around
