Well I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a viewOh the path was dark and border less
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And it stung my tongue to repeat the words
That I used to use only yesterdayMeanings just dropped to the ground
I tried to remember what I thought
And what I used to say
Don't let me go down no don't let me goOh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that nightSeemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise. too hungry toWell I rode a while, for a mile or so
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
And the people I saw were the people I know
And they all came down to take a viewOh the path was dark and border less
Down the road to the eighteenth avenue
But my head felt better as I turned the car
And the airport slowly came to viewOne mile said the sign
Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22
Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
