The Road Ahead

Verse 1

I looked in the eyes of a middle aged man

And I saw myself some day

With some money saved up and a couple of kids

If I’m lucky I’ll be that way

But right now that’s all a mystery

Laid out there in front of me

Chorus

The road ahead is wide and clear

And every mile is one short year

And they tell me there gonna fly

But all I’ve got is time

I’ve got a girl and only god knows

How far down that road goes

For now it’s going alright

But I’m not thinking about tonight

Got my mind on tomorrow instead

I’m just looking at the road ahead

Verse 2

Every handshake with my grandpa

I’m thinking it’ll be my last

Cause most of his roads for all we know

Are behind him in the past

But I’ll have him in my heart to guide me through

The things I should and should not do

Chorus

And the road ahead is wide and clear

And every mile is one short year

And they tell me there gonna fly

But all I’ve got is time

Most of the roads that I’ve been on

Were dirt and Gravel and now there all gone

Mostly dead ends anyway

I’ve cut the chains on yesterday

Got my mind on tomorrow instead

I’m just looking at the road ahead

Bridge

I’ve got time on my side and one willing heart

And a GMC and a pretty good start

And for now it’s running alright

But I’m not thinking about tonight

Got my mind on tomorrow instead

I’m just looking at the road ahead
