You save up your money, buy you some shoes

The highway's calling and she's right on cue

Just when you thought you had it beat

You're leaving town on a one-way street



CHORUS



It's a hard, hard lesson

But you're gonna have to learn it

It's a long cold swim up against the current

And somewhere down the line

you're gonna have to turn it around

'Cause boy right now you're nowhere bound



Her words still echo thru your mind

But fade away as you cross the county line

Running from trouble or from the truth

It doesn't matter either way you lose



CHORUS



Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks

But you turn around and find that it's twenty miles back

And it's never gonna change it you keep leaving

Your heart's gonna break, but never break even



Where to now, do you know?

One thing's for certain

Gonna reap just what you sow

And all you planted was heartache and pain

Don't look now but it looks like rain.
