The Path

Show me the path 
That's narrow and straight
I'll put on my shoes
And be on my way
I'll turn to the blues
And tell them to stay
If my shoe strings come loose
I'll leave them where they lay

There won't be a thing
Holding me back
I'll throw over my shoulder
A single backpack 
With nothing in it
As there'll be nothing I lack
As I follow in life
This chosen path
