Where's the way where's the way to get out of this mess Will it reverse will it reverse, all we thought would last And i'll be stantding standing here like anyone else Things will be turning, turning to a meaningless past It's not you against the open road Things are not that simple or i could let it go It's not you against the songs I aint no stranger on my own We go way back I ain't no dreamer, no dreamer you know i'm nothing special But i can play my part, i can play my part and faint to go on I'ain't no gambler, travelin from town to town But i've seen a few, i've seen a few movies about it And it's not the valleys that raised me as a boy But they've been feeding they've been feeding these doubtful tunes It's not you against the open road Things are not that simple or i could let it go It's not you against the songs I aint no stranger on my own, we go way back It's not you against the open road Things are not that simple or i could let it go It's not you against the songs I aint no stranger on my own, we go way back
