Traveling along the winding dirt roads
The cars speed by and dust billows
I dont bother to avoid the cloud
As the dust settles upon the ground
I think back to a happier time
A time of comfort and luxuries so fine
A time of women and spirits galore
Ahhh.. so long ago were the days of yore.
Daydreaming as I walk this path
I sometimes wish of those days gone past
But here I am on the side of a road
In the middle of nowhere and the night forbodes
I've been walking since the break of dawn
Trying find it before the day is gone.
I hear in the distant a growling rumble
And hope its not a sign of trouble
As the volume increases my muscles get tight
I round the bend and I see the lights
As the car approaches and slows just a bit
It passes me slower than I wish to admit
I catch a scent of an odor so sweet
It's familiar and my heart skips a beat
I slow just a little and take a look back
Remembering my life and how it lacks
Shuffling my feet now in the loose dirt
I begin to understand why it's so inert
But this is the reason I'm taking this trek
To find my soul and stick out my neck
Until I find myself I wont be happy
So away I go slow and steady
As the sky dims a hazy shade of red
I realize that it's not my life I dread
I fear of being on this road alone
Of endings my days with a bare headstone
It's a new day tomorrow and I must say
Life is waiting and it wants to play
The darkening sky is rich and deep
I lay down and I close my eyes to sleep.
