Lyrics

Straight ahead the road keeps winding Narrow, wet and dimly lit Vainly looking for a crossroad Where a weary soul can sit Lost and needing some direction Dodging ruts along the way Bumpy road, confuse a body Lead a trusting soul astray For some this road is smooth and easy Travelin' high without a care But if ya got to use the back roads Straight ahead can lead nowhere On this road you got a problem Getting where you want to go Speed limits almost down to nothing Straight ahead but oh so slow
Writer(s): Malcolm Earl Waldron, Abbey Lincoln, Leon Baker Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.com
