Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

Glory Road

Wearin' my high boots

Got all my wordlies here in a sack

Looking for something

Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at

I'm comin' back - I'm comin'

Ride by thumbin'

Get by bummin', I'm on my way

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?

Say friend, I've got a heavy load

And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

Caught me a pick-up down from Seattle to L.A.

Seems like those folks go chasin' a new star every day

Ain't gonna stay in Nevada - through Wyoming

Colorado - I'm on my way

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?

Say friend, I've got a heavy load

And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

It's so many autumns

Which way to go? -

Louisiana, New York City

They won't give the answer

They ask of me:

"Friend, have you seen Glory Road?

Say friend, I've got a heavy load

And I know Glory Road's waiting for me"

Rest my load, now I know

Glory Road won't set me free
