Lyrics

I can recall so vividly each rising of the sun
Whenever I’m driving west to east
Down every road I’ve been
The music from the night before
The pounding of the drums
Stay with me as I haul my load
Down ever road I’ve been on

When I was young they’d ask me
What I’d be when I grow up
I’d say “a doctor, or a lawyer”
Anything to shut them up

I can’t lie, the truth is
I just didn’t have a clue
To what I’d want to be in life
Or what I’d choose to do.

But I’d choose my own road, and know
I’ve chosen from the heart
And if I choose the wrong road I’ll know
I can look back with my soul intact
And grow.

I don’t lose no sleep at night
Deciding who I am
I just run the lights
And break up fights
For the boys here in the band

And when it’s time to change my life
I’ll be the first to know
For now take heart
I play my part
In the name of rock & roll

And I choose my own road, and know
I’ve chosen from the heart
And if I choose the wrong road I’ll know
I can look back with my soul intact
And grow.

I know that I can be happy
Just as long as I can laugh
And I stay away from those who would say
They speak on my behalf
