Oh we are trying to leave

Yea we’re trying to make our way

But we can’t

No we can’t no no  no

Lord we can’t

–

Turnpike turned all white

These semis turned upright

Lord keep me away

From these wicked roads today

Driving around

–

I’ve got time to burn

There is one thing I’ve learned

Holding on going on

Make my way through this song

I won’t take too long

–

We shut lights out late

The snow won’t go away

Burnin candles in daylight

Makin’ me feel all right

In this winter cold

–

Oh I know

Oh, yes I know

It will be alright

I’ll hold

I’ll hold you close

Through the cold

–

Oh we are trying to go

Where this ole road, goes, rolls

Oh I know Oh I know

That’s there’s oh so long to go

With you

–

When I turned seventeen

So long ago it seems

27 I’ll make my way

Hear what mom and dad have to say

Bout me now

–

We are going to find a life

On America’s east side

Good friends left behind

This was the only time

To get away

–

Turn-in the countryside

For those city lights

A studio with some clothes

Good lord we got to go

And make it big
