I’m taking the back roads with all the twists and turns
racing from the dust in the rearview
I’m wearing my old shoes, skid marks on the soles
Hopin’ they’ll remember where to run to
a road less traveled, a plot unraveled
a knot untangled, to guide me on my way
I’m taking the back roads, good luck on the main lines
I’m taking the back roads, gonna get you down the line
No body in front of me, no one behind
Whenever I get there, I’ll be right on time
I’m cutting through alleys, a shadow in the lights
peeking out to check on my location
I’m floating on slipstreams till I’m thrust upon the shore
on my knees just looking at creation
