Lyrics
Spirit Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
When you're alone
You cheat yourself
You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
You get your shoes
And get your hat
Get out here while you still can
There's nothin' right that you can say
You keep on talkin' anyway and everyone seems to turn on you
There's nothing right that you can ever do
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Now you're on that long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you had to find
You're headed home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
You stop to eat
You start to drink
But you don't stop and you don't think
You lost your keys
You're on your knees
You're on your back and lookin' up in the trees
And the night swirls for a little girl
A speck of dust in the giant world
There's a spirit road that you must find
A long highway in your mind
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
There's a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
Don't feed that snake
That turns on you
You starve it out, that's what you do
And it makes you lie
It makes you cheat
It steals your shoes and cuts your feet
The snake keeps feeding through the night
You lose your soul without a fight
There's nothin' right that you can say
You keep on talkin' anyway
There's a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
Peace again
Peace again
There's a long highway in your mind
The spirit road that you must find
To get you home to peace again
Where you belong my love lost friend
When you're alone
You cheat yourself
You paint yourself in a dark, dark place
Get your hat
Get your shoes
Get out here while you still can still choose
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
Spirit road
