There's a burnt out streetlight down at the end of the road Sometimes I go out there when I wanna be alone It's only in the middle of the night so you won't hear the door close I can tell that lately when you've been looking at me The woman you see there, she's who you want me to be It's only in the middle of the Night that I start thinking 'bout leaving What if I just keep on walking What'll I do when the road runs out What if it turns out that I don't need you What do I know about freedom anyhow? If I don't go, how will I know? Nobody's told how it's supposed to be Love is a crooked line, I'm learning that the truth ain't free If I'd known better I'd have run away But I've been tethered by a rope that I couldn't see What if I just keep on walking What'll I do when the road runs out What if it turns out that I don't need you What do I know about freedom anyhow? If I don't go, how will I know? If I don't go, how will I know? And what about the bird up there on the telephone wire? If she doesn't want for freedom, how will she know to go higher? It's just a lesson that I haven't Learned as I've been walking the life of a liar
