about

'a well-paved road/he waits for me' is our first double-track ever!! <3

lyrics

I have heard you haven't known
That all our children long have grown
And all they had I made them on my own
And if we ever laughed we laughed alone

And I have heard you have been blessed
Living what you once confessed
And if you asked our god it's for the best
To be a free man 'till the freedom lasts

But if you had been born defeated
There wouldn't be a thing you needed
To always, always be at home

Because a self-sown life's a well-paved road
Well for those once living off the land
But now it goes, it goes as I command

A self-made girl's a tale untold
A tale of those just keeping what's at hand
But now it goes, it goes as I command
And who you think you are to understand
That I have not been born a giver
I'll run and run 'till I'm a river
No I never, never meant to stay

It was good, it was funny, made her knock on the wood.
Chased some dreams, saved some money, she did all a girl could, but she cried
And she didn't know why.

He was good, kind of funny, he was commonly nice,
Had his dreams, had his money and she never thought twice,
She just smiled – he might make my life worthwhile.
Yes, she smiled.

Bought a dress, bought a veil, left her tears at the door,
Wrote a vow, said a prayer as she glanced back once more she just smiled
And she didn't know why.
Yes, she smiled.

Awaited road, that many among us still roam,
He waits for me begging I'd make him a home.
But I've made my name and I paved my road,
but you can take my hand that I once owed to you.

It was good, it was funny, made him knock on the wood,
But ain't no dreams and no money can do what a man should,
So he swayed,
In the wind, his bed was made.
There he waits for me.
There he waits for me.
