Maybe this is the wrong road after all
Sure it’s less traveled, but there might be a reason for that
Unfortunately, the last turn-off was twenty years back
I sit down and look ahead
I see a dot in the distance
The dot gets bigger
Eventually some guy walks past me, old and tired
“I should have turned around when I was your age,” he says
I sit for a while and watch him go by
Then get up
And continue on my way
Sure, it’s a crappy road going nowhere
But now
It’s all mine
Thanks, I needed that.
Not sure how to explain why, but I don’t think that’s what matters.
So thanks for that bit of renewed confidence, and I’ll keep doing things my way.
I was meaning to do that anyway, but now I can get back to doing things my way right now, rather than in a little longer
But I do hope you don’t *really* think yours is a ‘crappy road going nowhere’. You make enough good people laugh and smile for that to be, at the very least, partially untrue
Anyway, thanks again – and great music
