If I was crawling
Would you help me along?
This lonely highway
Goes on and on
If I was drowning
Would you throw me a line
Pull me to you
And be a friend of mine

I got here on my own
Nobody lent a hand
Why should I drag you
To the promised land
Everybody seems to
Want a piece of me

Because I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever

If I had no money
Would you ease my pain
Take me by the hand
And lift me up again
If I was empty
Would you heal my soul
And stay here with me
'Til I'm tired and old

I feel you circle round me
Waiting for a sign
The air is thick
But I can see you just fine
Everybody seems to want
To ride for free

'Cause I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever

Yea, I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever
