So I tried a new direction
Ooh, a new mindset, a new state
But running's what it is
It's hard when you're a kid
To find your place
I know a gang of clever fellows
We built a fort out in the woods
We cuss and spit at all the girls
Without a care in all the world
Yeah, the living is good
But now I'm supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I dont get to wear my bare feet at all
But when the storm is through
My feet know what to do
All roads lead to you
I think I've grown a little thinner
Without you riding my coattails
I will trade it in all again
For a nice stroll in your skin
Just to cure what ails
And I can see a palm tree
From my chair
So I don't really feel like going anywhere
And even if I do
It really is of no use
Cause all roads lead to you
I can see a palm tree
From my chair
So I dont really feel like
Going anywhere
But even if I do
Its really of no use
Cause all roads
Lead to you
I always try to please you
I'm never getting any sleep (??)
Love seems easier when it comes
But the coming's just the first part
Of having to leave
So maybe ill die
A happy minstrel
Or just a shadow of my former self
I'd undo what I have done
But lamenting's much more fun
Guilt is bad for your health
Oh, but now I'm supposed to grow
Big and tall
Seems like I dont get to wear my bare feet at all
But when the day is through
Theres nothing left to do
Baby, all roads lead to you
Yeah baby when my life is through
I know just what to do
Cause all roads lead to you
Oh
