Rough Road
Well it was cold winter time,back in nineteen eighty nine I was ten years old,and I think that you were nine
our momma was still alive,she was doing fine
I remember well,the ways that she shined
We lived down by the interstate had a place where we’d play
and I can still hear her saying boys stay away from that old road
because it sure is a rough road that they’re traveling it sure is a mean road that their rolling on sometimes they take a wrong turn
sometimes they go the wrong way
they get a little sideways,and can’t get back from where that they came break
The years quickly past us by
you had your dreams and I had mine
seperated by the hands of time
we both had to live our own lives
I bought a house on the edge of town
I had some kids and I settled down
but I don’t see you around,I guess that you’re still chasing that long white line but just remember
that it sure is a rough road that you’re traveling
that sure is a mean road that you’re rolling on
somewhere you took a wrong turn,somehow you’ve went the wrong way you’ve got a little sideways,and can’t get back from where that you came cause it sure is a rough road that you’re traveling
it’s a long empty road and it just rolls on and on
