Down the Road Aways

♫ Listen free on Spotify ♫
The truck is hardy and the journey is long
It is time to sing you one last song
Before I go, before I repair
To someplace Route 202 will never find me
But 90’s always there
And with luck it won’t be all that far away
Just down the road aways
The streetlamps are with me and my headlights are working fine
And what lies ahead stands a chance of being mine
And though I know there’s no way to tell what it will be
When I’m there I plan to take it and make it part of me
The sun’ll shine upon my face
Even down the road aways
And I will fall like anyone
Like I’ve fallen more than once
And I may keep on running ‘til there’s nowhere left to run
Where fate sees fit for me to go I’ll go with glee
Be it pain or pleasure, sorrow or just maybe ecstacy
I can’t say I’m ready but I guess I’ll have to do
But the hardest part of it all is leaving you
When the sun is up, you never see the stars
And we always only see the highways for the cars
Not the lights or the gravel, the lines painted on the ground
The call to reach tomorrow is a strict and urgent sound
But the truck is hardy and the journey is long
And there’s always time to sing that one last song
When you go, take me along
When you go, take me along
When I go I’m taking all of you along
All I ask is when you go take me along down the road aways
Take me down the road aways
To someplace Route 202 will never find me
Where Jackson Browne has been and Janis meant to go
Another J won’t pass away today, he’ll just be down the road aways
