Lyrics
The Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He came into this world
Naked and alone
He came out of the darkness
And the darkness was his home
Maybe it's for praise, maybe it's for blame
Maybe in the sound and fury glory was his name
But he don't follow, he don't follow, he don't follow
No, he walks his road alone
He don't follow, he don't follow, he don't follow
No, he walks his road alone
And every single day is leading to the line
You keep on to the end of it, keep reading all the signs
People they want money, people they want bones
People they got lots of questions for a man who dares alone
But you don't follow, you don't follow, you don't follow
No, you walk this road alone
You don't follow, you don't follow, you don't follow
You just walk this road alone
You just keep your eyes on the prize
Keep your eyes on the prize
You keep your eyes on the prize, right on it
You just keep your eyes on the prize
You keep your eyes on the prize
You keep your eyes on the prize–
Hey! Ha-ha, hey! Ha-ha, hey! Ha-ha, hey! Hey!

No, you don't follow
You don't follow
You don't follow
No, you walk this road alone
You don't follow
You don't follow
You don't follow
No, you walk this road alone
(Hey! Ha-ha, hey! Ha-ha, hey! Ha-ha, hey! Hey!
