Like a Southern Road

Fuschia sunsets glow on top of

Canals made for the runoff

Echo the things that I once loved

Never could get enough of

I set out on my way

With my viewpoints kept at bay

The music's off and I recite the lines

From the old play

Here I go again to give my time

Have to drink it all before the end of the ride

Don't it feel like a southern road

To hear your heart breakin' on the radio?

The road less traveled is paved in gold

When you're miles from home

With nowhere to go

They ain't already told ya

Coast the car past closing bars

Where ghosts and smoked cigarettes

Are the only ones left

Where Crooked Cops and the Christian Cross

Stay 24/7 lit

And the stop signs are bullet-kissed

We won't get far with the engine off

That's just how it is

So get used to it

Don't it feel like a southern road

To hear your heart breakin' on the radio?

The road less traveled is paved in gold

When you're miles from home

With nowhere to go

They ain't already told ya

Don't it feel like a southern road

To hear your heart breakin' on the radio?

The road less traveled is paved in gold

When you're miles from home

With nowhere to go

They ain't already told ya

Don't it feel like a southern road

To hear your heart breakin' on the radio?

The road less traveled is paved in gold

When you're miles from home

With nowhere to go

They ain't already told ya

That's when it feels like a southern road

Ya hear your heart breakin' on the radio

With one more habit you have to own

When you're all alone

With nowhere to go

They ain't already told ya
