So I tried a new direction A new mindset, a new state But running's what it is It's hard when you're a kid To find your place I know a gang of clever fellows We built a fort out in the woods We cuss and spit at all the girls Ain't got a care in all the world Yeah, the livin' is good But now I'm supposed to grow Big and tall Seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet at all But when the storm is through My feet know what to do All roads lead to you I think I've grown a little thinner Without you riding my coat tails I would trade it in all again For a nice stroll in your skin Just to cure what ails And I can see a palm tree from my chair So I don't really feel like going anywhere But even if I do It really is of no use 'Cuz all roads lead to you And I can see a palm tree from my chair So I don't really feel like going anywhere But even if I do It's really of no use 'Cuz all roads lead to you For always trying to please you I'm never getting any sleep Love seems easier when it comes But the coming's just the first part of having to leave So maybe I'll die a happy minstrel Or just a shadow of my former self I'd undo what I've done But lamenting's much more fun Guilt's bad for your health But now I'm supposed to grow Big and tall Seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet at all When the day is through There's nothing I can do Baby, all roads lead to you Yeah baby when my life is through I know just what to do 'Cuz all roads lead to you
