Skyway

Try to make it back to where it is I came
Wading through life's it's always been the same
Life lead me this way
Lost for the day
Driving a road stuck between heaven and hell
Am I driving to fast I can't tell
But it's all in the game you choose
And it does matters if you win or loose
One way gets you so much pain
The other, you have just  became another dark road stain
Living life isn't always as easy as it seems 
Living and then losing all your dreams
The other you drive so hard and fast
But your racing memories from the past
Driving all night in the pouring rain
This life gives you so much strain
Racing back from where you came from
Trying hard to get you some
But love never comes for free
That's something some just cannot see
They take your heart then leave you crying alone in the rain
Leaving your heart filled with pain
Just to go racing off again.
Just taking her out for a spin
Again and again playing it close to the heart
Then losing it all just  before the start
Win or lose 
It's up to you to chose
I'm still driving along somewhere lost in the game
Will it ever be the same
Longing for a way back home
Doomed to always roam
Driving forever across that drifting sky
Taking a moment to sit and softly cry 
before I go flying through
That eternal skyway 
Then we are going along till the next day
Living so long along side this long winding road
Carrying your crimes  heavy load
Paying for all the  sins you made so long ago
Let's sit back and enjoy the show
And don't you know right on time , here  comes the train
you just have to think  now just who is to blame
