Lyrics of Freeway to the Canyon by Phil Lesh, The Terrapin Family Band

chorus

All along, you knew that you′d be coming back again
All along, you told me you would always be my friend
All along
All along, you knew where you could find me
If you took the freeway to the canyon

verse

This last year left its mark on me, it built me up just to watch me fall
To come as far to think that we were never that close at all
Never that close at all
Never that close at all
It feels just like a dream now
I was only trying to hide my body from the wind
And I was always flying as if I'd never come down again
But all along
I was only trying just to find you
When I took the freeway to the canyon
So many things come so slow to me
I build them up just to watch thеm fall
Now ′bout that girl that came to me
Werе we ever that close at all?
Ever that close at all
Ever that close at all

bridge

It feels just like a dream now
It feels just like a dream now
It feels just like a dream now
It feels just like a dream now
It feels just like a dream now

chorus

All along, you knew that you'd be coming back again
All along, I told you that I would always be your friend
All along
All along, you knew where you would find us
If you took the freeway to the canyon

bridge

To the canyon
To the canyon
To the canyon
To the canyon
To the canyon
To the canyon
To the canyon

outro

I will always be here, you will never be alone
I will always be here, you will never be alone
Writer(s): Neal Casal
