Turnaround

(Album: Turnaround - 1978)

Bits and pieces you offered
Of your life; I didn't think they meant a lot
Or said much for you
And all the chances to follow
Didn't make a lot of sense when stacked against
The choices you made

For yours was the open road
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I couldn't share
Though the offer was there
Every time you turned around

Now, it's not like you made out
To hang around, although you know I made some sounds
To show that I cared
And when it looked like you heard the call
I didn't say a lot, although I could've said
Much more, had I dared

But yours was the open road
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I couldn't share
Though the offer was there
Every time you turned around

And if I had followed
A little ways, because we're friends you would have made me
Welcome out there
But we both know it's just as well
'Cause some can go, but some are meant to stay behind
And it's always that way

And yours is the open road
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I'll never share
Though the offer's still there
Every time you turn around

And yours is the open road
The bitter song, the heavy load
That I'll never share
Though the offer's still there
Every time you turn around
Every time you turn around
Every time you turn around
