Faithful Road
I’m going on down the old faithful road
I’m leaving my home, I’m leaving my home
I Don’t know how far, how long I’ll go
I’m leaving today down the old faithful road
Every morning I’m confronted by my demons
I want them to come, lord I want them to come
And as I lay here dreaming I be scheming about
My sweet freedom, my sweet freedom
I’m going on down the old faithful road
I’m leaving my home, I’m leaving my home
Don’t know how far, how long I’ll go
I’m leaving today down the old faithful road
As I lay here dreaming I be scheming about
My sweet freedom, my sweet freedom
There’s a world out there that I gotta see
So Im leaving today down the old faithful road
I don’t know how long I’ll be gone,
I’m leaving today down the old faithful road
