Off the Beaten Path

Boy watched his mother cry and struggled to say goodbye He shut the door behind him Headed down the road, unsure of where to go He hopes someplace will reach out and find him The windows creak and the walls speak of a time before my own The dust settles in and the clock slows down Oh, I made it home Oh, I can feel my heart deep beneath my feet And I find peace in the air that I breathe With everything in my reach, I find myself wanting more But what else is there that I could ask for? So I get off this beaten path Run into the hills and don't look back I find that I need to clear my mind Maybe then I'll enjoy the ride Maybe then I'll enjoy the ride You, my friend, you haven't chnaged One touch of a time Wind or rain The only one that's changed is me I can feel your heart deep beneath my feet And I find peace in the air that I breathe With everything in my reach I find myself wanting more But what else is there that I could ask for? Lay down with the world we hold As the sun scorches into our souls Sooner or later, grass'll grow And grow and turn to green once more Away, away, away for the day The gruel will turn to gray Maybe then we'll start to feel the rain So we get off this beaten path Run into the hills and don't look back And I find that I need to clear my mind Maybe then I, I'll enjoy the ride Maybe then I'll enjoy the ride Get off this beaten path Run into the hills and don't look back I find that I need to clear my mind Maybe then I'll, I'll enjoy the ride Maybe then I'll enjoy the ride
