Both Ways Lyrics by Albert Hammond

Body of Work

2024

[Verse 1]
There's a road outside, I hear the wheels go rolling through the rain
And I hear you off in the other room, you maybe said my name
And a long and lonesome feeling goes down into my bones
As I grab the bag by the kitchen door and I leave you there alone

[Chorus]
You know, freedom don't come easily
Always hard and never free
It hangs around a while but never stays
But you go as far as you can go
And hope the ones who love you know that
Every road you travel runs both ways

[Verse 2]
If you ever walked an open field, when night was falling down
And you lifted up your eyes to see the heavens roll around
Then you may have heard the voice I heard, a message from the sky
There is so much more to life, than waiting 'round to die

[Chorus]
You know, freedom don't come easily
Always hard and never free
It hangs around a while but never stays
But you go as far as you can go
And hope the ones who love you know that
Every road you travel runs both ways

[Verse 3]
Now the history of everywhere is all written by the kings
And the ordinary men like me have never wrote a thing
So I'm gonna be a mockingbird, and I'll take off on the wing
And I'll comfort lonely travelers with the homeward song I sing

[Chorus]
You know, freedom don't come easily
Always hard and never free
It hangs around a while but never stays
But you go as far as you can go
And hope the ones who love you know that
Every road you travel runs both ways

[Outro]
You know, freedom don't come easily
Always hard and never free
It hangs around a while but never stays
But you go as far as you can go
And hope the ones who love you know that
Every road you travel runs both ways
Yes, every road you travel runs both ways
