SIDE ROAD

It was different knowing the roads that I was walking
'Cause I walked them when I was a boy
And it was different seeing the sun rise in the morning
Over the mountain where I was born

I am lost on a side road
Will I ever get home?
I am turned to the dark side
I am all alone

I have the devils eye as it was twinkling
And I watched him dancing on down that road
And I wanted so to let that gypsy lead me
So he could free me from my heavy load

I am lost on a side road
Will I ever get home?
I am turned to the dark side
I am all alone

Now the oldest shoes I have will always fit me
And commit me to the life I've known
And I know that there is no one else besides me
That's going to guide me on my journey home

I am lost on a side road
Will I ever get home?
I am turned to the dark side
I am all alone
