Shadow On The Road Ahead

(album: Tommy Tutone 2 - 1981)

10 after 3 on a lonely night
Moon's coming out, something don't feel right
And I'm running down a long lonely road
Lord, I'm carrying a heavy load
And there's a shadow on the road ahead
There's a shadow on the road ahead

Up ahead I can't get by
Scare to move, but I've got to try
'Cause I'm a wanted man where I've been
Lord, I ain't never going back again
But there's a shadow on the road ahead
I said shadow on the road ahead

Charged out burning in a reckless flight
Now I'm alone in the middle of the night
But I couldn't stay there and see it through
I won't pay for things that I didn't do

Night fell down as I got in my car
Drove all night just to get this far
It's almost dawn, it's just not fair
One more turn, and I would've made it there

Oh no, it just can't be
I see the trees reaching out for me
God, I'm sorry for what I've done
They're coming now, and I've got to run

There's a shadow on the road ahead
There's a shadow on the road ahead

There's a shadow
There's a shadow
I see a shadow coming out at me yeah
Yeah hey
Come on and get me
Come on and get me
Yeah, yeah

I see
Come on see it now
Come and get me now
Come on take it now
Come and get me now
Come on out now
I'll be ready now
I'm a dog now baby
No no no
No no no
No no
Come on and get me
Come on, come on and get...
