lyrics

And we were all in this together
Without a truce, standing side by side
But pull your wishes from the well, my friend
Because that was another time

These days, even heroes
They're ready to throw it all aside
Take what you want, leave all your illusions
See how the guilty run and hide

Show me the cost of freedom
Because I'm ready to pay my toll
Born with a style, that's how I'm leaving
Heading out on the low road

A child laughed, I glimpsed at heaven
Representing all that's right
Turned around, just for a moment
That child already waved goodbye

Don't want to sound disheartened
You ain't gonna see me cry
I'm only explaining my reasons
While my bullet pierces the guilty killer's side

Don't talk of lady justice
Because she was put down long ago
We spend our time mining for courage
Knowing it lies somewhere
Out on the low road

Don't know where I'm going
Don't really care to know
Heading out on the low road
In search of love, guns, or wine
I guess everybody's wasting time

You caught me looking backwards
To places we all have been
The playgrounds we shared our visions
The streets where we chose our sides on it

These days the buck stops nowhere
And nobody gives a shit
I bet if we take some time
We can wipe our conscience quite clear of it

The lamb lying down with the lion
A beautiful tale, that's all
The truth is it ain't gonna happen
There's just miles and miles
Out on the low road
