Another old...something ::shrugs:: Spring house cleaning. Been cleaning out the shed...throwing stuff away so I can clean out the house and put stuff in the shed so I can throw it away at a future date. Anyway...found this. For what its worth. Road to Recovery ********** Here I am again... Alone and pushing on Shadows moving in for another gloomy dawn Interstates and railroad tracks are always willing to take you back. But, Oh Lord, its such a hard road When you're busted up and growing old Still on the road to recovery Memories from the past Cloud the rising sun Loves that didnt last Plans that went undone Late at night... the scenes from so many broken dreams Play on my mind like a movie screen Then comes the sun and I've just begun The road to recovery Trying to remember... How did it all start? Trying to get over wandering minds and restless hearts Many who thought they had my cure and more only added to the reasons for the road to recovery Everyone I know is hurtin' There's no secret there, But some are toting burdens that are just too great to bear. Some have hearts... hard, scarred and torn. Some hide from the world in which they were born. On the road to recovery The stories are not the same They change from face to face Some have lost everything with nothing to take its place. If they're waging war for the peace they crave or drinking late at night to an early grave Its just the road to recovery Nothing seems to change... Out here, all alone... Those, with no place left to go Say the highway is their home. There are those who are learning and there are those who are knowing... You're out here because You don't know where you're going Just going... On the road to recovery. |
