to the east to the east
the road beneath my feet

i havent got there yet
and to the north to the north
never to be caught
to the south to the south
my time is running out
- bass
ever since my childhood i've been scared i've been afraid
of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place
so i always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored
somewhere secret somewhere safe and somewhere close to the door
well ive travelled many countries ive washed my feet in many seas
ive drunk with drifters in vienna and with punks in old dc
and ive driven across deserts driven by the irony
that only being shackled to the the road could ever i be free
to the east to the east
the road beneath my feet
to the west to the west
i havent got there yet
and to the north to the north
never to be caught
to the south to the south
my time is running out
- bass notes
I've felt old before my time but now i keep the age away
by burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days
and the nights a thousand nights ive played and a thousand more to go
before i take a breath and steal myself for the next one thousand shows
to the east to the east
the road beneath my feet
to the west to the west
i havent got there yet
and to the north to the north
never to be caught
to the south to the south
my time is running out
x2
yes so saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry
cause the truth is you wont be here long
yeah soon your gonna die
to the heart to the heart theres no time for you to waste
you wont find your precious answers now
by staying in one place
yeah by giving up the chase
to the east to the east
the road beneath my feet
to the west to the west
i havent got there yet
and to the north to the north
well i never will be caught
to the south to the south
my time is running out
to the south to the south
my time is running out
to the south to the south
my time is running out
- Shift chord shapes up to 12th fret
i face the horizon everywhere i go
i face the horizon the horizon is my home
i face the horizon everywhere i go
i face the horizon the horizon is my home
