On the Road

Now as you turn the next page It don't get better with age Or so it's been told But you still hope to find All the dreams left behind On the road One thing that life has taught you All those things that you ought to Can't be bought or sold And though you keep on trying All your dreams lay there dying On the road Beneath the heat of the day Your feet are turning to clay And your heart's growing cold Those old memories seem stronger Yet the days just grow longer On the road When the lines in the mirror On your face growing clearer Are looking cracked and old You strive to stay on track But you can't turn the clock back On the road

A magnificent poem my friend. The rhythm and flow rival many a country song. A fav of mine.

Thanks Jerry, we must be on the same wavelength. I was thinking about country music when I wrote it. All it really needs is a chorus and it might sound like something.
