Down The Road Lyrics

Why do you act so surprised

He'd turn your back and rob you blind

This town is full of drifters, don't you know

They put on their disguise

But you can see it in their hazy eyes

They're all waiting for their time to go

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

Where the road ends we begin

Before you know you're one of them

Once you ran away from something too

Well I guess that it ain't all that bad

One day you'll think of all the fun you had

With the people that you never really knew

So let's raise a glass for all the misfits

The ones who had their chance and missed it

And blame everyone they know

Many men get lost at sea

Many women turned out to be

Just cameos in your show

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

Though there are times I hold back tears

You know I can't help but laugh

Did you really have your fun, buddy

Do you even really have to ask

If there's one thing that I've learned in life

You make the bed, you sleep in at night

And some people, they just never do the work

I guess all you can do is the best you can

Try to be a better man

Try not to become one of the jerks

Then you won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

You won't see them down the road

Oh no, oh no, no

You won't see them down the road
