Lyrics

Down That Road
copyright 1997 Virgil Brown

My thoughts were scattered all over the ground
I tried to pick them up but they kept slipping through my hands
And I was blowing around the streets of that old grey town
Just like a lonesome wind escaped from the lost and found

And I said look where running with you has taken me lately
And look what trust in you has gotten me I try not to see
Or think too hard about the things I know
But let’s not go
Down that road
It ain’t no place for me to go
I’ve been there before
And I decided just to let it all go
If you’re thinking about all the things that you might’ve done differently
Take it from me
Don’t go down that road
No no no no don’t go down that road
No no no no don’t go down that road

My words were flying figure eights around my head
I tried to grab a few but that’s easier done than said
Sometimes I find myself just staring at an empty sky
When the sun’s just another question mark on fire

And I said look where running with you has taken me lately
And look what trust in you has gotten me I try not to see
Or think too hard about the things I know
But let’s not go
Down that road
It ain’t no place for me to go
I’ve been there before
And I decided just to let it all go
If you’re thinking about all the things that you might’ve done differently
Take it from me
Don’t go down that road
No no no no don’t go down that road
No no no no don’t go down that road
