ROAD SIGNS

(Simmers)

Driving down the highway, staring at the sky

Wondering just how far the day will take me

Don’t know what moves me on, just something deep inside

A feeling that I feel in time may break me

And the painted lines, crooked pines and road signs pass me by

And ask me “Where ya going, where ya been?”

And in the wind is echoin’ a casual reply

“Someday I might be back this way again”

It’s only time you’re wasting, following a dream

And time’s the only thing in life worth wasting

Though time is moving faster now, or that’s the way it seems

A dream’s the only thing in life worth chasing

Well it’s time that I move on again, another road sign passed

Another place I just can’t seem to stay

Someday I hope to settle down with something that will last

Without the fears we conquer on the way

The sun is fading softly now, to end another day

Tomorrow brings another day of learning

Sometimes I try to slow things down, and wish my cares away

But time goes on and this old world keeps turning

And as time goes by, so do I, with old friends on my mind

I wonder where I’ll end up when I’m done

And the road signs pass me by, like the memories of my life

I kick up dust and drive until they’re gone
