lyrics

Down The Road

It must've been
half a lifetime ago when
good fortune spent
he went on down the road.

Good people sour
as everybody knows.
It's the chill that fills the places where the wicked people go.

And it's not so hard to see a living vision somewhere down the road
And the heart that falls apart when faces come and then they go
can't help but save itself by finding comfort in the hope
that there's something better somewhere down the road.

Three days of rent
a chance to rest and clean some clothes.
Get a..big tasty bed
And a shower to warm your toes.

Three days to kill until the still moves you along
Three days to kill until your shadow's gone.

And it's not so hard to see a living vision somewhere down the road
And the heart that falls apart when faces come and then they go
can't help but save itself by finding comfort in the hope
that there's something better somewhere down the road.

Every fight
Every slight
Every grin
that we got in
Everything we ever did to the other kid
Just to fit in
To save our skins..

So it's not so hard to see a living vision somewhere down the road
And the heart that falls apart when faces come and then they go
can't help but save itself by finding comfort in the hope
that there's something better somewhere down the road.

It's not so hard to see a living vision
Down the road

about

Penniless Punk Utica, Michigan

This is music for working class people.

Only courage will make the world right.

If you're tired of the arguing, this music's for you.
If you're fighting the good fight, this music is for you.

If you still start each day with a little hope in your heart, this is for you.

I'm just glad you're here and I get to write songs about it.
