lyrics

Take Time On Your Road to Freedom
G C
I’m snuggling with the dogs from the other side of the railroad tracks
G D G7
Gonna take a different look and let me be free
G C
I’m looking at you from the other side of the railroad tracks
G D G
Takin’ a step back, settin’ myself free

C G
Take time to find freedom
C G
Take time to find your way on the long road home
C G
Take time and find on your road to freedom
D G
That when you say, your dreams are covered in gold

G C
Lookin back it seems a whole lot clearer
G C G F C
How could you know your way on the other side the…
G C
Path I know I’m taking, gonna get me now where I’m going
G D G
It’s high time I found my way on this side of the road

C G
Take time on your road to freedom
C G
Take time to find your way on this side of the road
C G
Look back while you’re blazing tracks, you know just where you’re at
G D G
Take time to find your way on this side of the road

Solo -

C G

Yeah, take time on your road to freedom
C G
Take time to find your way on this side of the road
C G
Look back, blaze a path, blaze a track, you know where you’re needed
G D G7
Take time to find your way on this side of the road
