The old familiar road

intro

I am standing on the corner of here and there.

Not knowing which way, I should go.

I am stranded in the middle of no man’s land.

And I don’t know which road to choose.

Verse

A man came along in due time.

and he said come follow me.

So down the road we went walking.

To see what there was to see.

Pre chorus

There was a farmhouse on a hill.

There were fields of golden wheat.

There was a stable made of stone.

The sound of steel being beat.

There was a rider on a horse.

There was a fence of barbed wire.

There was a church in the valley

That had a tall pointed spire.

Chorus

Be careful what you ask for.

Be careful where you go.

Sometimes it’s best to go down

The old familiar road.

verse

I asked the old man where are we.

He said son this is the past.

I said go back the other way.

And he did just as I asked.

Pre chorus

There was a parking lot full of cars.

There were jet planes over head.

The was a cop with a shotgun

and a man that he shot dead.

There was a preacher on TV.

There was a house of stained glass.

There was a stone in the graveyard.

With the date that I had passed.

Chorus

Be careful what you ask for.

Be careful where you go.

Sometimes it’s best to go down

The old familiar road.

Verse

I asked the old man where are we.

He said it’s the road to hell.

I said go back the other way.

To a time when all was well.

Pre chorus

Where there’s a farmhouse on a hill.

There are fields of golden wheat.

There is a stable made of stone.

The sound of steel being beat.

There is a rider on a horse.

There is a fence of barbed wire.

There is a church in the valley

That has a tall pointed spire.

Chorus

Be careful what you ask for.

Be careful where you go.

Sometimes it’s best to go down

The old familiar road.

It could just as well generate it's own lyrics. I can only imagine how this is going to change our world!

No going back now Carroll,

That was brilliant, loved it.

New dimension to your lyrics.

I still have to figure out how to use it myself but I prefer collaboration with people. Does give me a way of putting some that no one wants to song.

I think you will have more offers to cover once they hear the potential.

I believe musicians react more to the sound of something rather than 2 dimensional word.

Get it out there, they will hear,

By the way, your friend Ian did a good job on the Ai

Strong song! Cool lyrics and music.

I hadn't pictured this one as Rock, but it surely works, came out very nicely indeed.

Good stuff!
