My Get Away

Standing by the road
Just another rainy day
Troubles on my mind
Gotta find my get away

The bright lights of the city don't shine for me no more they're dull and grey
This wide road that I travelled to splendor meant for my now leads away

Working hard everyday
Slaving for the bills I pay
These lines on my face
Are growing deeper everyday

The hard times lived by others were never-never meant for me
I turned a blind eye towards them though looking straight ahead I could not see

Playing the game
I went to school with all the same
Set my sail for higher ground
No anchors weight could weigh me down

So why do I stand here wondering why I am adrift out on the sea
Though playing by the right rules, somehow my grandeur has eluded me

So I'm standing by the road........
