I Went with the Road

Heading west on a back road

'Cause I couldn't face the dawn

The tollway would've saved time

But I was down to my last dime

I just went with the road that I was on

Thank you for the ride she said

She just wanted to tag along

And I had a wound to heal

I gave a ride to the devil and she took the wheel

And I just went with the road that I was on

Blood spill in Wisconsin

Blood lets in Idaho

She said it was an ethnic cleanse

And she pulled the trigger, she should make amends

I just went with the road that I was on

Father, would he forgive me

For these things that I have done?

He said, 'Boy don't even waste your breath

You been riding in the valley of the shadow of death

When you went with that road that you were on'

I said, 'You got some dirt up under your collar

And then I turned to face the dawn

My life was in a downhill skid

The spirit never moved me but that young girl did

When I went with the road that I was on
