[Verse 1]
Just like the sun over the mountain tops
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning times
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

[Verse 2]
I've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can

[Chorus]
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what seas I have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again

[Chorus]
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
