GOOD ROAD

Every decision affected the balance

And every move disturbed the weight

He was draggin’ his feet and watchin’ the floor

He went unnoticed for another day

This place wasn’t exactly shelter

Just some quiet between the rain

He decided against gatherin’ his thoughts

It seemed best to just give them away

But there were forces at work

A shirt tail to dry his eyes ‘cause he was to young to hurt and they’d say

take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends

take the long way ‘round ‘cause you’ll be back this way again

and there’s always room here for you room here for a friend

so take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends

a fist is just a hand afraid to open he said

like the way your afraid to smile

and travelin’ involves distance my friend

the smallest steps add up to miles

take time to see

to unlock the secret you’ll need more than just a key so listen

take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends

take the long way ‘round ‘cause you’ll be back this way again

and there’s always room here for you room here for a friend

so take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends

and something shines in the dimmest of lights

it ain’t no accident you’re here

when you learn the difference in being shown and being led

things ain’t as dark as they appear

but there are forces at work

and all things you used to doubt all now seem certain

take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends

take the long way ‘round ‘cause you’ll be back this way again

and there’s always room here for you room here for a friend

so take the good road ‘cause the good road never ends
