So many poems about where roads are leadin’ Past hills and dips and bends Well I figure the secret is choosing the straightest And seeking a town called content If you fear that your gut has deceived you Yeah, if you feel misled Keep right on heading in the same direction But keep sense in the back of your head Yeah, keep sense in the back of your head If the wheels start creakin’ Drive on, drive on ‘Cuz there ain’t no easy incline to the top There are all too few moments that reach out and seize you Between bouts of obligation Oh, to pay heed to flashes of passion Or what fathers and ghosts recommend If you find that your dreams surface time and again If you find what should be dead Push ‘em down, way down so your azure eyes No longer twinkle from the front of your head No longer twinkle from the front of your head If the wheels start draggin’ Keep on, keep on Think of all that wasted effort if you were to stop So many songs about where roads are leadin’ Past hills and dips and bends Well, I never saw the difference, baby, Between a coast and a dead end So if you believe that your compass was lying If you feel misled Turn right on back to the city that raised you And greet all the fake smiles as your friends Think of all the fake smiles as your friends If the wheels fall off Come on, come on And get your pinstripe suit and winter jacket on
