Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
|
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
|
And the people I saw were the people I know
|
And they all came down to take a view
|
Oh the path was dark and borderless
|
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
|
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
|
That I used to use only yesterday
|
Meanings just dropped to the ground
|
I tried to remember what I thought
|
And what I used to say
|
"Don't let me go down" no don't let me go
|
Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
|
The empty waste of another day
|
Memories were blank to my eyes
|
The fire and the glory of that night
|
Seemed safely locked away
|
Too hungry to rise. Too hungry to
|
|
Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
|
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
|
And the people I saw were the people I know
|
And they all came down to take a view
|
Oh the path was dark and borderless
|
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
|
But my head felt better as I turned the car
|
And the airport slowly came to view
|
One mile said the sign
|
Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22
|
Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
|
