One Too Many Roads Lyrics by Mark David Manders

0

Stumblin' my way through life on those back roads of Texas
Lord I guess I've seen a thing or two
There's a song in every smile, and not knowin' where the next is
Keeps my baggage packed and my mind on the move
I've shared a lady's company in more than just one town
When daylight comes a callin', I'm nowhere to be found
So I find myself searching, but there's nowhere to go
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
I've been down one too many roads
I've found out the hard way ain't the only way to go
And the miles I've put behind me have left me a little slow
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
Spent many a night alone, my coat draped across my shoulder
Chasin' headlights with my thumb in the air
And each truck that passes by makes me feel a little older
Makes me wonder, what the hell am I doing here
When I see those brake lights shining, I get that feeling down inside
When I crawl up in the cab, I know it's just another ride
I try hard to hide it, but I know it must show
That I've been down one too many roads
When I was just 16, I fell in love with music
And taught myself to play this old guitar
I'd write all about my life, but they said they couldn't use it
Now I know why Nashville seems so far
Now I'm playing where I can for the money and the beer
Thank God for Texas, thank God I'm here
And if they wanted me in Nashville, I don't think I'd go
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
'Cause I've been down one too many roads
