THE ROAD

 

Start out going straight from your school

Down your chosen street

Never be anybody’s fool

Follow your own beat.

The Road could get rough up ahead

Maybe even end

Not knowing what to expect 

After the next bend 

 

              But it would not be so hard to accept

              If I knew

              All the things I have come to expect

              Myself to do

              Would come to

 

You’ll run into all kinds along the way

Don’t let them, pull you in

But remember what your father had to say

Just be your own man

​

              But it would not be so hard to accept

              If I knew

              All the things I have come to expect

              Myself to do

              Would come to

 

When the day finally comes that you arrive

Stop and take a look

Back on all the things that meant survive

Along the road you took

The miles have a way of adding up

And you never even know

And it seems that the farther you get

The more you have go

 

              But it would not be so hard to accept

              If I knew

              All the things I have come to expect

              Myself to do

              Would ring true
