lyrics

Don’t Take The Road by Barry Oreck
Don’t take the road take your foot off the gas
Don’t take the road you can find your own path
Don’t take the road Its too wide and too loud
You can get where you’re going without following the crowd

Don’t take the road no need to get there so fast
Don’t take the road get off of your ass
Don’t take the road There’s an opening there
And on your two feet you can go anywhere

Good rotation, beat stagnation
Get your feet rolling one at a time
The more you trust your balance the steeper you’ll climb

Don’t take the road Take pride in your stride
Don’t take the road Your strength can’t be denied
Don’t take the road though connected its true
Once you take the entrance ramp your freedom is through

Don’t take the road Take the track that you choose
Don’t take the road You’ve got everything to lose
Don’t take the road Keep your eyes on the prize
And discover what you’ll find when you improvise

Big surprises, could be over the horizon
But the big trucks rolling all over the place
Packs of stinking snowmobiles right in my face
And jet skis churning wheelies and starting to race
And I’m just trying to live without a trace

Don’t take the road It’s the easy way out
Don’t take the road Its not what you’re about
Don’t take the road You may wander alone
But at least your choices will be your own

If you drive the whole fleet on a slab of concrete
Pretty soon there won’t be room for a pair of bare feet
If the roar of the machine is never in retreat
and all we have to breath is what they excrete
you’ve just gotta get out of your seat

So don’t take the road (instrumental)
Don’t take the road If there’s another way
Don’t take the road There’s no turning back
If your headed to the top take the unbroken track

Six lane highway, or backwoods byway
Jump on the trail and off of the street
Crunch some leaves under your feet
Move your body, make your own heat
It’ll pay you for the effort, make it feel so sweet (it all complete)

Out in the meadow, not the concrete ghetto
Out in the meadow ………………
There must be a way to get away, There must be a way to get away
