Road to Paradise Lyrics

Way back then, I remember when I watched them kids was hangin' out at the spot

But they're all still parading, masquerading, trying to be someone they're not

And in the silence past the violence, hidden from the guilt and pain

Way back there beyond the square, in secret only shadows still remain

We were young and dumb and full of some ideas on how and why

But sometimes yet I might forget it, it's been so many years gone by

You know the real man listen to vinyl, and when his ship sails baby it's final

So oh meet me on the road to Paradise

And all these combinations and complications and situations gonna drag you down

Steady looking for solutions, contributions ain't nowhere to be found

And if you dare to dream you know they'll drag you, kickin' and screamin' from this town

And they'll dump you out on the road to Paradise

Well, I grew up runnin' round a little town down in the Land of Hallelujah

And at twenty-eight I chased my fate up north into the World of Whats-it-to-ya

But now I'm restless and I'm starting to unravel

On this straight and narrow way somewhat less traveled

So come on meet me out on the road to Paradise

Long gone days have passed away, I pick up steam upon the stream of time

No time to wait or contemplate the meaning of the lives I've left behind

Forever changing with the seasons, full of rhyme but yet bereft of reason

I'm a drifter on the road to Paradise

Forever changing with the seasons, full of rhyme but yet bereft of reason

I'm a drifter on the road to Paradise
