Any Old Road (Will Take You There)

He slammed the door behind him

Called his daddy "dumb"

He left home with tomorrow

A-ridin' on his thumb

No particular direction

Seventeen and scared

Hitched a ride beside the road

Driver said "Son, where you goin?'"

He said "anywhere but here"

If you don't know where you're goin'

Any old road will take you there

When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'

You can't find the will to care

Any way you travel

Red dirt, clay or gravel

Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere

Any old road will take you there

A little all night café

A young woman there in tears

The waitress says "You want some coffee?

Does anybody know you're here?"

She slowly tells a story

Says "He don't love me anymore,

I left my ring there by the bed

And I don't know what lies ahead

I've never been this 'gone' before"

If you don't know where you're goin'

Any old road will take you there

When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'

You can't find the will to care

Any way you travel

Red dirt, clay or gravel

Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere

Any old road will take you there

Sometimes the road is narrow

Sometimes the path is straight

At times we face so many curves

Our turns are hard to take

If you don't know where you're goin'

Any old road will take you there

When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'

You can't find the will to care

Any way you travel

Red dirt, clay or gravel

Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere

Any old road will take you there

Out there runnin' scared

In the middle of nowhere

Any old road will take you there
