(Verse 1)
I climbed into the back seat
Of this imagination ride
In these dead and empty streets
I took a case of doubt and broke it wide
Just like a pirate's luck
Fortune comes at a high price
But a gambler only earns his buck
If he dares to roll the dice
(Chorus)
I'm on the road, the winding road
In search of something new
Where the rolling river gently flows
Into the ocean's blue
I'm older than I was, I know
I'm fading out of view
I know that much is true
I know that much is true
(Verse 2)
Like the summer sun
That burns you with desire
Just like a loaded gun
Waiting for its chance to fire
The danger's always there
And not easy to evade
But if I'm forever staying here
It'll always be the same
(Chorus)
I'm on the road, the winding road
In search of something new
Where the rolling river gently flows
Into the ocean's blue
I'm older than I was, I know
I'm fading out of view
I know that much is true
I know that much is true
(Verse 3)
So what is my life for
If I fail to play my hand?
I'll prepare this man of war
Pull the anchor and escape the land
I'll leave my empty den
I'll cut down the safety net
And I won't be coming back again
Once these black sails are set
(Chorus)
I'm on the road, the winding road
In search of something new
Where the rolling river gently flows
Into the ocean's blue
I'm older than I was, I know
That one day I'll pull through
I know that much is true
I know that much is true
