Forever Down the Road
©2006 Richard March & Tyler Ragle

On the outskirts and the edges
In the alleys of your mind
You walk a thousand miles all alone
Now the barrooms crack, the thunders back
You have no voice to sing
You’re stepping through those curtains all alone
Those empty seeds are sown
Forever down the road

Seems the phases of a heartache
Don’t matter so much now
Though you can’t forget how hard the wind has blown
The preachers now are silent, the poets gone to bed
Through the darkness comes the crackle of a phone
A voice you’ve never known
Forever down the road

You make your stand, not where you planned
Shake it off and let it go
Faith runs thin through talk and waiting games
Feel its cool rhythm rising through your bones
Know you’ve never been alone

Standing there in tatters
Your prayers turned upside down
You suppose it doesn’t matter anymore
Watch those dancers spinning, smiling sweetly, ebb and flow
Feel the wheels and ask not where they go
We’re not that far from home
Forever down the road
