I was riding down the highway when I thought I spotted someone in the road

I said, "You going my way?"

And he turned his head and said, "Man, I don't know."

So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh

And I asked him, "What you running from?"

And he said, "My man, I'm running from my past."

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud

And then we drank a brew

I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.

I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.

There's no need to come around unless you're true.

Someone in the road

Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and a half.

The way that we were moving left half myself reflecting in the past.

Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and started walking down a path.

Lifted spirits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts.

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud

And then we drank a brew

I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through.

I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.

There's no need to come around unless you're true.
