No Use Running

(album: Don Williams, Vol. 1 - 1973)

The weather vane out on the shed
Is looking to the west
I reckon I'll head that way,
It's good as any way I guess
Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode
'Cause there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Gal, it wouldn't take much
For someone to define
All the contradicting flashes
That burn across our minds
But there's no way to communicate
If you don't know the code
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

[Instrumental]

There's times I get to thinking
about the way it might have been
And I wonder how we got
To this state that were in
But every word we spoke
Only added to the load
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Guess we knew somethings
You've got to fight to win
But you get to standing back
After leading with your chin
We both learned to young
That you reap what's been sowed
And there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road.

Well, there's no use running
When you're on the wrong road...
