I could jump on some ol' highway
Run a thousand miles or more
Unlock some hidden mystery
Behind a distant door
I could sail the seven oceans
'Til I crawl upon some long forgotten shore

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm looking for

I could climb a hundred mountains
Leave a hard ol' world behind
Wander right across some prairie
Like a man out of his mind
I could walk and stare into the sun
Let it all just burn me deaf and blind

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm trying to find

Where does a man go for redemption
Where does he take a broken heart
Shouldn't there be some small exemption
If he does all that it takes
To admit to his mistakes
'Til the truth batters and breaks his world apart

I could ask for my forgiveness
From the heavens high above
Tell myself my prayers are gonna somehow be enough
And lay down in some angels bed
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreaming of

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you that I love

Where does a man seek his salvation?
When does his mind finally go free?
Is the pain he feels the only explanation
For believing lies are true
For the stone inside his shoe?
The endless ways the years keep haunting me

I could find an empty church
Get down on my knees
Tell myself the mercy
Is a matter of degrees
Then lay down in some angel's arms
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreaming of

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you that I love

Always gonna be you that I love

That I love
