Red Dirt Road

June 2004


Red dirt road.


Time rolls on no matter what we do.

We can have a look around, or roll on, too.

I’ve seen and done all that’s here.

The path I’ll take is very clear.


I’m ready for a red dirt road

To take me past the field’s I’ve sewed.

I can steer through turns and bends,

I’ll decide where it ends.

I’m ready for a red dirt road.


The best laid plans of mice and men -

Sometimes we lose but strive to win.

Life runs hot, and life runs cold,

But I can’t put my life on hold.


I’m ready for a red dirt road

To take me past the field’s I’ve sewed.

I can steer through turns and bends,

I’ll decide where it ends.

I’m ready for a red dirt road.


There’s more to this than what I’ve seen

Beyond the hills at the valley’s end.

But should I change and be so bold?

The answer lies on the red dirt road.


I’m ready for a red dirt road

To take me past the field’s I’ve sewed.

I can steer through turns and bends,

I’ll decide where it ends.

I’m ready for a red dirt road.
