lyrics

The Road I Left Behind

I live by the Bay on a simple highway
Been here many years biding my time
I struck out on the fray to the desert of the state
Exchanged my fears for the warm sunshine
Found no sweethearts to touch me
A spirit was in my mind
and I made another memory dancing in the wind
stranded on the road I left behind.

So many years go by you wonder why you hide
Simple things like love just come and go
Nobody knows you when you're living in a dream
and don't have a whole lot to show
I'll drive that road again to make a memory
so later on I'll be glad it's on my mind
Thinking back to better days dancing in the wind
stranded on the road I left behind.

Some say it's fate
you can choose the shape
was it just a waste to live it blind?
Let go of today
Maybe it'll pay
Maybe life will turn unkind?

So I go on living by the pretty coast highway
I'm breathing more and hear the muses shine
There's songs in the wind because now I see
The reason that I'm standing on your dime
I'll leave the third degree that's here inside of me
and out to sea I'll cast a stronger line
to remind myself I'm free and nobody knows it's me
stranded down the road I left behind.
