DOWN THE ROAD

When you come into town, 

About a mile past the train depot

Hang a left at the crossroads;

that’ll take you where you want to go

Down the road, just after the bend

You’ll find nana’s sweet embrace 

And the joyous laughter of friends

Down the road, just over the valley

You’ll taste home cooked food

And a warm welcome from your family 

Down the road, just under the bridge

You’ll feel your lover’s presence 

And the innocence of your kids

Down the road, just past the big sign

You’ll see the fruits of your labor

And discover peace of mind

Down the road, you will see

that our troubles and travels are not in vain

There’s a divine purpose in the journey 

There’s a palpable payoff for the pain

So don’t give up on your voyage

Stick to the road just a little longer 

The best is yet to come 

The road is what makes you stronger
