Lyrics
Down th' Road
(Intro)
I. Still waitin' for you, Boy. You're just down th' road.
Did you cheat again and go th' other way?
But, when you stop by here, flirtin' don't get old.
Look forward to your visits every day.
(Chorus)
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
There's no dust cloud comin' home.
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
I know you're down th' road.
(T)
II. Hey, Daddy, supper's on. Set another plate.
He's haulin' ass, like he did before.
He said he got a job. That's why he's so late.
Leave th' lights and open th' front door.
III. I know she calls you here. You let me listen in.
Don't you care my feelin's might be hurt?
Prayin' for th' day when this madness ends.
Relationships need a lot of work.
(Chorus)
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
There's no dust cloud comin' home.
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
I know you're down th' road.
(T)
IV. Who says they don't know why, when it's over then?
Just th' ones like me who live each day.
Wishin' I had known 'bout th' ways of men.
Why do I keep thinkin' he will stay?
(Chorus)
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
There's no dust cloud comin' home.
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
I know you're down th' road.
(Tag)
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
I know you're comin' home.
Lookin' down th' road. Down th' road.
I see you're comin' home.
