The old Familiar Road.

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.
