lyrics

THE GOOD ROAD

VERSE I

Take a look down the road you've chosen
Tell me what do you see?
Is this the road you wanna travel?
Will it set you free?
Are you looking for adventure?
Are you looking for a pot of gold?
Or do you just wanna take it easy?
Watch yourself grow old?

CHORUS I

Take the good road
even if it don't look easy
Take the good road
Now don't waste your time
Take the good road
Even if it don't look easy
Take the good road
Now you gotta walk that line
It's a thin one

VERSE II

Now there are people out there
who are lost and lonely
Only ask 'em what they're doin'
They don't know
If someone could take the time
the time to show them
Even they got a way to go

CHORUS II

Take the good road
even if it don't look easy
Take the good road
Now don't waste your time
Take the good road
Even if it don't look easy
Take the good road
Now you gotta walk that line
It's a thin one
Kinda like a state of mind

VERSE III

Well the children of the Earth
What are they worth
They're our future and they gotta come first
We gotta show them where we went astray
let them know that together
we can change this world someday

We gotta point them in the right direction
Give 'em our love now and our affection
So that when they grow up and we get old
They'll have some words of wisdom
For the kids of their own

END
