Avenues Lyrics

Avenues

Another song to sing

Another chapter to write

Hoping to keep my balance

Somewhere between wrong and right

I've been gone for awhile

Didn't think I'd come back again

Although I feel like I'm losing the fight

Should have quit while I was behind

Where does this road lead

I've been down this before

It lead me down the guided path

Destination unknown

Maybe deciding

It's time to go it alone

So I'm hitting the highway

But I'm running out of avenues

Too old to change my ways

But I'm too young to call it a day

Some days I feel like I'm getting somewhere

Other times it's the opposite

I wish I could start again

Find some  way to think that I can win

Sometimes I wish I could find a freight train

And ride it somewhere down the line

Where does this road lead

I've been down this before

It lead me down the guided path

Destination Unknown

Maybe deciding

It's time to go it alone

So I'm hitting the highway

But I'm running out of avenues.

C1999 Townedgers' Music Emporium

Album: Land Of Abandonment 1999

Chords: F E D (3)  A

Chorus: G,D 7

last line: A, G D

A song about being a loner and the choice of being one. the F,E,D riff is unique in the way that the chords repeat through the verses.  It seems that D is the main choice of chord for the majority of the songs played. Originally the 151 Song was slated to lead off Land Of Abandonment but Avenues sounded better as opener.
