Rocky Road

(album: Party Of One - 1990)

When I set out this was just a track
Now it's a rocky road
I left so fast I didn't even pack
I just hit this rocky road
The flint and shale is cold and cruel
On this rocky road
But its spark and spite I can overrule
Walking this rocky road yeah
Walk this rocky road

It began one morning when I woke re-born
Walk this rocky road
Felt like chains that had bound me, from me had been torn
Walk this rocky road
The rut I was in had once been a groove
Walk this rocky road
I said to my feet 'C'mon feet, time to move'
Then we hit this rocky road yeah
Hit this rocky road

And the way may be pitted
And the climb steep
And the mountains soaring
And the valleys deep
But I'm driven by a memory from way back when
That says I'm never going back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I first started out this was just a track
Now it's a rocky road
Fixed my eyes face forward and I didn't look back
I just hit this rocky road
There's some thumping and bumping from a thunderstorm
On this rocky road
But I'll keep on walking till I make it home
I'm gonna walk this rocky road yeah
Walk this rocky road
