A LITTLE FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD

A little farther down the road I’m on
A little farther down the way
I wish that I could see
The path in front of me
A little farther down the r-o-a--d

Youth is certainly wasted on the young
Kind of like a song that’s waiting to be sung
Growin’ up too damn fast
Trying to out run the past
With all the answers on the tip of our tongue

A little farther down the road I’m on
A little farther down the way
Weigh the wrong and right
The darkness and the light
A little farther down the r-o-a-d

I try to do good things because I’ve done some bad
Left some tears behind along this broken path
I have no bucket list
And no longer a clenched fist
Looking forward to no longer looking back

Down the road a piece, down the road a while
One foot in front of the other ,mile after mile
Down the road we move or down the road we go
With a lifetime’s worth of baggage behind us still in tow

When all the flowers have been dried and pressed
And this world has not heard my last breath
I’ll look back on it all
Wishin’ winter could turn back into fall
Just once more before I lay me down for my final rest

A little farther down the road I’m on
A little farther down the way
I cannot clearly see
The place where I will be
A little farther down the r-o-a-d
A little farther down the r-o-a-d
A little farther down the road
