Down The Road By The Way

(album: The Real Deal - 2005)

Well, it's down the road and up the hill and just around the bend
Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again
And it sets me into wondering what it's really all about
Fighting for the things we know we'll always be without

Down the road by the way
Where the laughing waters play
'Cross the ribbon-waving sand
We go walking hand in hand

Nothing old and nothing new
Nothing special there to do
In those good old yesterdays
Down the road by the way

Well, it's light and lovely Brenda coming cool across the waves
Floating over rows she helped me hoe in yesterdays
And it's me whose thirsty now for all that sweet milk gone to waste
Somewhere on the road of no returning yesterdays

Well, it's down the road and up the hill and just about the bend
Pick 'em and put 'em down and pick 'em up again
And it sets me into wondering what it's really all about
Fighting for the things we know we'll always be without
