[00:00.398]I'm sitting down by the highway
[00:05.088]Down by that highway side
[00:15.284]Everybody's going somewhere
[00:17.941]Riding just as fast as they can ride
[00:28.707]I guess they've got a lot to do
[00:31.606]Before they can rest assured their lives are justified
[00:40.281]Pray to God for me baby
[00:43.699]He can let me slide
[00:48.090]I've been up and down this highway
[00:51.592]Far as my eyes can see
[01:02.444]No matter how fast I run
[01:05.764]I can never seem to get away from me
[01:15.914]No matter where I am
[01:19.289]I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
[01:23.904]From where I want to be
[01:27.452]Now I'm running home baby
[01:30.787]Like a river to the sea
[01:34.569]Baby if you can see me
[01:37.949]Out across this wilderness
[01:41.324]There's just one thing
[01:44.716]I was hoping you might guess
[01:48.089]Baby you can free me
[01:51.538]All in the power of your sweet tenderness
[02:02.418]I can see it in your eyes
[02:06.462]You've got those bright baby blues
[02:16.594]You don't see what you've got to gain
[02:20.408]But you don't like to lose
[02:29.998]You watch yourself from the sidelines
[02:32.625]Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
[02:37.977]To keep yourself amused
[02:41.514]I don't mean to be cruel baby
[02:45.035]But you're looking confused
[02:48.569]Baby if you can hear me
[02:51.940]Turn down your radio
[02:55.312]There's just one thing
[02:58.729]I want you to know
[03:02.161]When you've been near me
[03:05.567]I've felt the love stirring in my soul
[04:03.404]It's so hard to come by
[04:08.377]That feeling of peace
[04:14.078]This friend of mine said
[04:15.709]Close your eyes
[04:22.071]And try a few of these
[04:30.444]I thought I was flying like a bird
[04:34.480]So far above my sorrow
[04:36.950]When I looked down I was standing on my knees
[04:42.598]Now I need someone to help me
[04:45.926]Someone to help me please
[04:49.560]Baby if you need me
[04:53.326]Like I know I need you
[04:56.292]There's just one thing
[04:59.605]I'll ask you to do
[05:03.002]Take my hand and lead me
[05:06.334]To the hole in your garden wall
[05:09.898]And pull me through
[05:16.460]Pull me through

I'm sitting down by the highway
