I'm gonna hit the road now, throw away my blues Get back all that I lost when I couldn't choose Oh, if I look back at my life I think I'll buy a shack down by the river Start a brand new life as a dream weaver Oh, if I look back at my life All the time that I spent staring at the wall Searching a friend that was true after all Waiting on somebody to just give me a call And say that nothing was in vain I blew away my chances a hundred times But this time can be different, I just have to try Oh, if I look back at my life I often hear the echoes inside my head Of all the times I've failed, but they won't come back Oh, if I look back at my life All the time that I spent staring at the wall Searching a friend that was true after all Waiting on somebody to just give me a call And say that nothing was in vain All the time that I spent staring at the wall Searching a friend that was true after all Waiting for somebody to just give me a call And ask if all of it was in vain
