"The Road"
Music & Lyrics by:
Christopher A. Miller
(c) 2002

The road goes on
Along the way
There's no rest between
Alabama and L.A.
The road is long
That steady sound
When pleasure's all I'm seeking
Only misery is found
I miss my children
I miss my wife
I miss all those simple things
That used to brighten up my life
It seems that hope
Has let me down
Like a train off in the distance
Leaving a dusty ghost town

It's time I change
There's still so much to lose
It's time I wake up
And choose

Do I want the road
Or a good lovin' woman
Do I take the road
Or stay and make it my best stand
Do I go the road
Or go places with my children
Do I own the road
Or does the road own this man

Big wheels spin
Out of control
Running away
Always taking it's toll
Wherever you go
There you are
You can think of the answer
Yet keep it hidden from your heart

It's time I change
There's still so much to do
It's time I sober up
And choose

I've been down oh, so low
And I've been way too high
It's time now that I let go
Fold these wings and fly
