Any Old Road (Will Take You There)

He slammed the door behind him Called his daddy "dumb" He left home with tomorrow A-ridin' on his thumb No particular direction Seventeen and scared Hitched a ride beside the road Driver said "Son, where you goin?'" He said "anywhere but here" If you don't know where you're goin' Any old road will take you there When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin' You can't find the will to care Any way you travel Red dirt, clay or gravel Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere Any old road will take you there A little all night café A young woman there in tears The waitress says "You want some coffee? Does anybody know you're here?" She slowly tells a story Says "He don't love me anymore, I left my ring there by the bed And I don't know what lies ahead I've never been this 'gone' before" If you don't know where you're goin' Any old road will take you there When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin' You can't find the will to care Any way you travel Red dirt, clay or gravel Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere Any old road will take you there Sometimes the road is narrow Sometimes the path is straight At times we face so many curves Our turns are hard to take If you don't know where you're goin' Any old road will take you there When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin' You can't find the will to care Any way you travel Red dirt, clay or gravel Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere Any old road will take you there Out there runnin' scared In the middle of nowhere Any old road will take you there
