[Ragged Glory version]
I came to you and I needed a rest
You took my love and put it to the test
I saw some things that I never would have guessed
Feel like a railroad
I pull a whole load behind
That old white line is friend of mine
And it's good time we've been making
Right now I'm rollin' down the open road
And the daylight will soon be breaking
I was adrift on a river of pride
It seemed like such a long easy ride
You were my raft but I let you slide
I've been down but I'm coming back up again
And I'm rollin' down the open road
Where the daylight will soon be breaking
Right now I'm thinking 'bout these things that I know
But it's good time that we've been making
[1974-09-12 Homegrown version w/ Robbie Robertson]
I came to you when I needed a rest
You took my love and put it to the test
I saw some things that I never would have guessed
Well, I've been down but I'm coming back up again
And I'm rollin' down the open road
Where my true love - she lies waiting
Right now I'm thinking 'bout these things I know
But the daylight will soon be breakin'
You were my raft and I let you slide
It seemed like such a long easy ride
I was adrift on a river of pride
Feels like a railroad
I pulled the whole load behind me
That old white line is a friend of mine
And it's good times that we've been making
Right now I'm thinking about those things that I know
But the daylight will soon be breakin'
Breakin'

I came to you when I needed a rest
You took my love and put it to the test
I saw some things that I never would have guessed
Well, I been down but I'm coming back up again
And I'm rolling down the open road
Where my true love, she lies waitin’
Right now I'm thinking 'bout those things that I know
But the daylight will soon be breaking
You were my raft and I let you slide
It seemed like such a long, easy ride
I was adrift on a river of pride
Feels like a railroad
I pulled the whole load behind me
