I have met many on my journey: Chris, Brad, the one I wrote about that in my mind I have come to call Billy, Jennifer and Ian, who I have not written about, but whose journeys crossed with mine over the past two weeks.
Neil's words from this song have something to say to all of us. Whether the answers to our seeking and questioning are large or small, The journey, the process, the question is in itself an experience.
Wearin; my high boots, got all my worldlies
here in a sack.
Looking for something, knowing that it ain't
here where I'm at.
Ain't lookin' back.
I'm comin'.
Ride by thumbin'.
Get by bummin'.
I'm on my way,
Friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
and I know glory road's waiting for me.
Caught me a pickup down from Seattle
through to L.A.
Seems like those folks go chasin' a new star every day.
Ain't gonna stay.
Nevada,
through Wyomin',
Colorado.
I'm on my way,
friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
and I know glory road's waiting for me.
Met so many others.
Wanted to know
which way to go.
Louisiana,
New York City.
They wanted the answer.
They'd ask of me,
friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I 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.
