Aimless Road Lyrics

The burden you bear is the fruit you share

With the broken-hearted soul

That's strapped to your back you follow in the tracks

That have led you there before

And hell in a hand basket

Makes for quite a heavy load

Desire's fire consumes you there

Down on the aimless road

The righteous and the wicked

Will walk with you by your side

All victims of circumstance

When the moment passed them by

And now their idle hands will finally reach

With no one there to hold

Stretched into the horizon

Down on the aimless road

You've leaped every hurdle

A thousand times inside your mind

A thousand different ways

A thousand reasons it was right

But when your feet start really moving

Which way will they go

Will they step up to destiny

Or down on the aimless road

A stroke of luck will step right up

And then pull you aside

As a fool for love this blessed curse

Accept it or deny it

And it'll twist your arm until it falls off

But you just can't let it go

You're totally set inside your ways

Down on the aimless road

Your stubborness will argue

Tactfully that it was right

As not a matter of courage

But retreating from a fight

And now there's nothing that can cut too deep

Because you're made of solid stone

No one can hurt you but yourself

Down on the aimless road

All of these adventures are abandoned

Without a trace to place your trust

Because who'll wait for a coward forever

Just to eat his dust

And I guess nothing is so cut and dry

That a story can't be told

But no one cares to lend their ears

Down on the aimless road

If this world would just stop spinning

Long enough for me to try

To redeem myself as a worthy man

Beneath your private eyes

But instead I seek to hide my tears

Where the lonely lovers go

Free to roam in solitude

Down on the aimless road

But I'd trade all these wondering years

Just for another chance

To extend my joy and gratitude

When you offered me your hand

Yeah we could've gone where the grass was greener

And built ourselves a home

And tried our lives to each other's eyes

At the end of the aimless road
