I was riding down the highway when I thought I spotted someone in the road 
I said, "You going my way?" 
And he turned his head and said, "Man, I don't know." 
So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh 
And I asked him, "What you running from?" 
And he said, "My man, I'm running from my past." 

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud 
And then we drank a brew 
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through. 
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through. 
There's no need to come around unless you're true. 
Someone in the road 

Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and a half. 
The way that we were moving left half myself reflecting in the past. 
Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and started walking down a path. 
Lifted spirits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts. 

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud 
And then we drank a brew 
I didn't think a thought about Mr. Brown, he's through. 
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through. 
There's no need to come around unless you're true.
