I saved myself when I left from here
But I paid the price so dear
The lights of home faded far behind
and glistened in my tears
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
I traveled on through foreign lands
some near, some far and wide
I gave away all that I own
And the rest I laid aside
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
I ne'er returned to the home I knew
There was no way to go
But now when I lay me down by this open road
It's all of the homes I've known
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
But I paid the price so dear
The lights of home faded far behind
and glistened in my tears
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
I traveled on through foreign lands
some near, some far and wide
I gave away all that I own
And the rest I laid aside
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
I ne'er returned to the home I knew
There was no way to go
But now when I lay me down by this open road
It's all of the homes I've known
For life is more than yesterday
More than the ties that bind
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
Some roads lead on from what you've known
To what you need to find
