The Road Songtext
von ducksmithson

Pick me up at any time that might work best for you
I′m only going if you're going too
It sucks the most because it′s self-imposed
Who will I be when I am finally out on the road?

I tell my friends I'm getting better, but it's so barebones
Cause I can′t hardly do half of the hard thing on my own
And on the good days I′m paraded and they show me off
I play the longest game of chicken cause I still can't cross the road

Flash-forward fiction I get what I want
Driving in the pitch black pushing 80 with my brights on
With nobody to ease my indecision or to tell me off
I make predictable mistakes, which might be half the fun


Flying down the highway I know just the song
To make me feel like dying in the driver′s seat is just a thought
And I have everything I couldn't picture I could even want
Maybe someone even asks me for a ride for once

But like all great works of fiction, it comes to an end
If I don′t work toward the daydream, it just stays pretend
And I'm not sure where I′m headed, not a clue of how I'll go
But I keep my hands at 10 and 2
I do everything I'm supposed to do

I keep my eye on the road
I won′t lose sight of the road
I′ll spend my life on this road
I'll live and I′ll die

I'll live and I′ll die
I won't lose sight of the road
