Lyrics
?Pride?
Author: L.W. Perry
Date: 6/10/2005
Verse 1
I know where that road ends
There?s no reason to go down it again
Killin time till there?s no more
I should have seen it before, I was just being you
Don?t mean to sound ungrateful
I just wanted tomorrow to be a surprise
You might find this painful
But a failure to you, to me a success in disguise
Chorus
Follow the leader, or follow your heart
Being yourself is the hard part
Straight and narrow, or winding and wide
There?s more than one place to find pride
Verse 2
Don?t take me the wrong way
What I needed you passed on to me
I might take the long way
But at the end of it all, I?ll still be me
Just think of what?s out there
Try to remember what you wanted to see
I can do anything, anywhere
But a decent man is all that I?m trying to be
Chorus
Solo
Chorus x2
