Old Highway 9 Lyrics by King Washington

The Overload

2013

I knew a man who gave up love
Who  never had the chance to be a part of
So  he sold his car and he pawned his mind
And he hitched a ride along Old Highway 9
When you run away, when you fight for pain
You  can change your town but you'll still be the same
A  passerby
A nameless face
A  man who came and went and was erased
And all the things I've done
All that I've wanted to be
I feel them on the run
I  hear 'em in the songs I sing
And oh, the only road, the only trouble I see
Must I go?
Tonight I leave sobriety
All the damn demands that take so much from me
A liquored mind
Unraveled soul
We're all just victims of the overload
And all the things I've done
All that I've wanted to be
I feel them on the run
I hear 'em in the songs I sing
And oh, the only road, the only trouble I see
Must I go
Must I go
Must I go
I knew I man who gave up love
Don't ever lose your chance to be a part of
