Busy Road

he's been working his whole life
for his family and his wife
he was on a highway track
looking forward - never back

you lived your life
you lived your life on a highway
never took the time to stray
you lived your life on a busy road
you lived your life on a highway

earn some money - build a house
(was) always busy and still crouse
stood up early - came home late
you always meant it to be your fate

you lived your life
you lived your life on a highway
never took the time to stray
you lived your life on a busy road
you lived your life on a highway

no looking back - no turnaround
with his work he felt bound
at the time he was retired
he didn't feel required

sad, depressed and with a frown
the old man then backed down
the pace he couldn't keep
finally laid himself to sleep

you lived your life
you lived your life on a highway
never took the time to stray
you lived your life on a busy road
you lived your life on a highway

I wish you could hear it - this is your ode
You were always there on time

you lived your life
you lived your life on a highway
never took the time to stray
you lived your life on a busy road
you lived your life on a highway
