As I woke up at the dawning of the day,
and I felt my woman beside me,
and I felt life, like a clock ticking on, with less road ahead than behind me
And I knew this day would be different,
so different from any I've known,
listening hard for the call so that I can move on
But it's too late now,
I'm on the highway headed for the coast,
but it's too late now,
I'm trying to beat time I suppose
As I sat still on the shining distant shore,
not sure what it was trying to say.
Where's the answer that I came looking for?
Surely she'll be lying in wait for me.
Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm doing,
I'm riding alone in the night,
searchin' hard for the answer,
searchin' for the light.
But it's too late now,
from the highway streets, and avenues
but it's too late now,
am I doing what I'm supposed to do?
It's a long and winding road that's led me this far from my home,
I can turn on my heels, but I choose to move on.
(I'm) searchin' hard for the answers, lord, the questions aren't coming out right,
all you know is that darkness you pray that someday you just might....
Now it seems like another uneventful day,
(I) never needed to stray so far.
I just opened up my eyes, looked around and realized
that everything I'd ever wanted was right it front of me.
And now my days are not different,
not different from any I've known,
sometimes you've gotta hit the road to wind up back home
But it's too late now
to convince me ever again to go,
but it's too late now,
where I was coming from is where I belong
