The Road to...

May 13, 2025
Lyrics

I was standing, on the side of the road,

Feeling lonely, getting cold,

I looked back just one last time

In my pocket, lonely old dime

The woods were dark, and full of fear

But my heart was strong and mind was clear

I had a sack, light as a whistle

But force of mind like a missile

And then you stopped by, in your old car

You opened your window, like you open a bar

You looked at me, just this one time

“you wanna ride” you said “it ain’t a crime”

We drove away, into the night

The new life, the new fresh start

I threw my sack, I threw my coat

Cause I was new and I was afloat

And though we talked about a house

About our life, and your new blouse

We drove and eat, and danced for days

We knew we had to part our ways

You left no number, no address near

You left me just a few cans of beer

But when you looked into my eyes

Then I knew our sun would still rise

‘Cause we will meet when the tide is gone

And we will lie on our lawn

The world will stop, the music ‘ll play

 We’ll walk on clouds the night and day

It’s my road and it’s my own

It’s my heart and it’s my soul

So don’t judge stay of my way

Or be free with me and free you stay
