Halfway Down the Road

I've been clocking the miles

The sun rises and falls

Trying to steady the wheel

For the long haul

This ain't no trial run

But it's a trial by fire

I'm just the vehicle

With some worn down tires

Halfway down the road

So many miles I've gone so many left to go

On to another show, just trying to keep tempo

Just trying pass my test

Some day I'll take my well-earned forever rest

But I ain't there yet

I'm halfway down the road

Have friends and lovers I lost

Had good fortunes befall me

I've seen some real wild nights

I've seen some real dark mornings

Halfway down the road

So many miles I've gone so many left to go

On to another show

Halfway down the road

Is it all a lie

All that I can do is try

Got it all in on this single hand I'm playing

Walking with this façade of stars

On lonely Sunset Boulevard

Will I see returns on the dues that I've been paying

There ain't no real reward

At the journey's end

The only treasures exist

In every moment I'm in

Halfway down the road

So many miles I've gone so many left to go

On to another show, just trying to keep tempo

Thank you my traveling friends

For sharing this journey until it ends

But we ain't there yet

We're halfway down the road

No we ain't there yet we're halfway down the road
