Song Description

A cautionary tale.

Lyrics

SON DON?T YOU GO DOWN THAT ROAD
D. Procell

We can talk and talk til we?re blue in the face
But we?re still not goin? anywhere
I know you?re only tryin? to find your place
And you?re thinkin? why should I care
But I can see where you?re headin? to
From the vantage point of my years
I?m only tryin? to save you from goin? thru
A world of heartache and tears

Son don?t you go down that road, I?m beggin? you please
Son don?t you go down that road, I?m down on my knees
Son don?t you go down that road

Well, you?re so hard headed and full of yourself
But you come by it honestly
You?re takin? on the world with nobody?s help
You?re gonna wind up just like me
Now you can do better you sure could do worse
You?re gonna be what you?re gonna be
But steppin? off the edge without lookin? first
Would be such a tragedy

CHORUS

I know your pain and your hunger
You can?t control the spell you?re under
Little wonder
CHORUS
