The Road Lyrics - Poetry Of The Deed - Frank Turner

Chorus 

To the east, to the east, 

The road beneath my feet. 

To the west, to the west, 

I haven't got there yet. 

To the north, to the north, 

Never to be caught. 

To the south, to the south, 

My time is running out. 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well I've traveled many countries I've washed my feet in many seas 

I've drunk with drifters in Vienna and with punks in old dc 

And I've driven across deserts driven by the irony 

That only being shackled to the the road could ever I be free 

Chorus 

To the east, to the east, 

The road beneath my feet. 

To the west, to the west, 

I haven't got there yet. 

To the north, to the north, 

Never to be caught. 

To the south, to the south, 

My time is running out. 

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 I've played 

And a thousand more to go 

Before I take a breath and steal myself 

For the next one thousand shows

Chorus 

To the east, to the east, 

The road beneath my feet. 

To the west, to the west, 

I haven't got there yet. 

To the north, to the north, 

Never to be caught. 

To the south, to the south, 

My time is running out. 

Yes so saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry 

Cause the truth is you won't be here long 

Yeah soon your going to die 

To the heart, to the heart there's no time for you to waste 

You wont find your precious answers now by staying in one place 

Yeah by giving up the chase 

Chorus 

To the east, to the east, 

The road beneath my feet. 

To the west, to the west, 

I haven't got there yet. 

To the north, to the north, 

Never to 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. 

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
