OTHER PLACES TO GO

“You’ve tried the highway;
Why not try my way?”
This pretty dancer
Whispered in my ear.

Went with her and found
Love’s not just a noun.
Early the next day,
She had this to say:

You shouldn’t have to go that far
To find out who you are.
Shouldn’t have to go to extremes
To find what it all means.

Don’t go to the ends of the earth
To find out what it’s worth.
There are other places to go
For what you need to know.

When the stars are out,
I still think about
That one night of bliss
And that goodbye kiss.

On the Interstate
Between love and hate,
I recall what she said
When I left her bed:

You shouldn’t have to go that far
To find out who you are.
Shouldn’t have to go to extremes
To find what it all means.

Don’t go to the ends of the earth
To find out what it’s worth.
There are other places to go
For what you need to know.

Blacktop’s in my blood,
Mind flaps full of mud.
Rest stops are my home
Far away from home.

Keep driving myself
Off to someplace else.
I know it was right
What she said that night:

You shouldn’t have to go that far
To find out who you are.
Shouldn’t have to go to extremes
To find what it all means.

Don’t go to the ends of the earth
To find out what it’s worth.
There are other places to go
For what you need to know.
