about

An innocently romantic love song about the person you'd want to walk hand-in-hand with on your way down the road of life. Ala Josh Ritter, Brett Dennen, Ray LaMontagne, Avett Brothers, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Amos Lee, David Gray, Bob Dylan.

lyrics

From where I am, I can see where I need to be;
It's a long way down and one million miles from me.
Never once did the distance daunt a ramblin' man
So, I'll lead with my boot heels, followed by an empty hand.

I'm not the kind of guy that believes in fate
But I'm also not the type to deny how well you're made.
Since I like the way you move,
I'm prepared to wait until you're ready to go because
All I'd give, to have your hand on my way down the Road.

Alone I'm fine, but with you, I've got all I need
And you can rest your lovely eyes because you've found that in me.
My heart is on my sleeve and pinned in that sunset-
I think it looks like you all pretty, pink and violet.

I'm not the kind of guy that believes in fate
But I'm also not the type to deny how well you're made.
Since I love the way you move,
I'm prepared to wait until you're ready to go because
All I'd give, to have your hand on my way down the Road.

From where I am, I can see where I need to be
But it involves one road
And I would love to have you walking with me.

I'm not the kind of guy that believes in fate
But I'm also not the type to deny how well you're made.
Since I'm wild about the way you move,
I'm prepared to wait until you're ready to go because
All I'd give, to have your hand on my way down the Road.
