Liberty Line

Well, I ran into some trouble
And headed out toward Liberty Line
I heard voices going in my head
"You could be livin' more than you could be dyin'"

I remember when we fell in love
You were the one I thought I'd never meet
I taste your words on the tip of my tongue
They were soft and they were sweet

But we ran into some trouble
We knew our love was slowly dyin'
And when we said the words that ended us
I headed out toward Liberty Line

The night was some kind of quiet
I could almost here myself think
I felt my heart was like a heavy flood
I'm gonna float or I'm gonna sink

I was thinking we could settle down
Start a family and start a life
I was only two days short of asking you
If you would be my wife

But we ran into some trouble
We met that enemy that we call time
Threw my guitar in the back of my car
And headed out toward Liberty Line

I didn't know what would be waiting there
I didn't know what I would find
But I knew I had to make it, make it to Liberty Line

They say you can't see the forest
When you're there among the trees
They say it takes a separation
To find some kind of clarity

But I feel I'm gonna make it
To the line where freedom waits
And then this lonely prisoner
Can cross the border to a better state

Now, I'm on my last stretch of road
And I don't know what I'm gonna find
Maybe the sheriff will be waiting there
And stop me short of Liberty Line

Off in the distance
I'm coming closer with every breath
I see a woman staring back at me
I stop the car, she comes up on my left

She said, "I didn't know if you would make it
See, I got this enemy that I call time
But I was wondering could I hitch a ride
By the way my name is Liberty Line"

I didn't know what would be waiting there
I didn't know what I would find
But I knew I had to make it, make it to Liberty Line
