Lyrics
I?ll Show You the Way
A drifter was walking down a lonely road
hoping for one last ride
When up pulled a pearly white custom jeep
the driver said, ?hop inside?
He asked ?Where you going son, ?cause if you don?t know
I can take you where you want to go
So the drifter sat down in seats as soft as clouds
And said, ?Come on, let?s go?
I?ve got power to climb up the steepest hill
This 4x4 can flat out fly
Go ahead and turn the music up
Sit back and enjoy the ride
If you need to know where you need to go
There ain?t no point in trying to guess
We can punch it in my super special custom made personal GPS
I can show you the way to get back home
I can show you the way to get to heaven
?cause it?s a long and narrow road
Let me show you the way
I?ll show you the way
I can see you had a little trouble at home
Right here on Planetree Drive
The drifter said ?How?d you know??
The driver just turned and smiled
And you spent a lot of time at the local bar
Drinking away your pain
You may think you?re alone but I?m by your side
Driving down life?s highway
And so he dropped him off at the corner of where life begins again
He said, ?If you need a ride just look me up I?ll always be your friend
I can show you the way to get back home
I can show you the way to get to heaven
?cause it?s a long and narrow road
Let me show you the way
I?ll show you the way
