Reflecting on knowing that the grass that is not always greener and the price to be paid.
Further Down The Road i£© A.R. & T.D. Crowther I have a friend, a friend in need; for now let's call him Joe a€¨ He chose to take the highway but he's not sure where to go a€¨ Now Joe was a real fine builder; he hand built his own home a€¨ But the girl he meant to share it with had left him on his own a€¨ Chorus: a€¨ He packed his bag, picked up his tent and left his house behind a€¨ Drove his truck out to the highway and let the route unwind a€¨ And when I get to thinking, a€˜bout the burden of his load a€¨ I wonder if he'd like to see, further down the road a€¨ I have a friend who's on the mend, for now let's call her Kate a€¨ She's knows she's made a big mistake but realized too late a€¨ She did not need to travel far before she turned around a€¨ To an empty house and shattered dreams, scattered on the ground a€¨ Chorus: a€¨ He packed his bag, picked up his tent and left his house behind a€¨ Drove his truck out to the highway and let the route unwind a€¨ And when I get to thinking, a€˜bout the burden of his load a€¨ I wonder if he'd like to see, further down the road a€¨ Bridge: a€¨ Every night Joe finds himself standing near a phone a€¨ Perhaps someday he'll pick it up and get beyond the tone a€¨ And every night Kate sits up late hoping that he'll call a€¨ And every night she hopes to hear his footsteps in the hall a€¨ Chorus/Tag: a€¨ He packed his bag, picked up his tent and left his house behind a€¨ Drove his truck out to the highway and let the route unwind a€¨ And when I get to thinking, a€˜bout the burden of his load a€¨ I wonder if he'd like to see, further down the road a€¨ Yeah, I wonder where he'd like to be, further down the road
