THIS IS THE ROAD / tonight I looked over a thousand faces strong / you always said I’d still be standing / I was shaking from the cold / I had my stomach burning down / you were watching from the back and in my head you were wanting to shout / this is the road, this is / this is the road / this is the start / so let’s run with it / tonight I ran a thousand smiles maybe more / you were the joker on the level / but when London hung you out and poured concrete in your heart, you painted it well / when it went hard, you were laughing it out / this is the road, this is / this is the road / this is the start / what can you do but laugh at it? is that what I do when these chattering and flapping flocks of doubts are still scratching around in the roof? someone get me an umbrella / get up there with a broom / they’re hanging round just cuz I feed ‘em / well tonight I think they’re better left to the road / and this is the road, this is / this the road / this is the start so let’s run with it / just run with it
