Verse 1: I woke up from a bad dream To the howling of a lonely night But the walls come closing in Like the victim of a one-way fight I don’t remember many yesterdays I left a lot of things undone Now I’m back and I’m here to say I’m looking after number one Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Verse 2: Seeing people on the freeway Takes me back to where I started from I was riding on the big wheel I was walking in a midnight sun Well I did a lot of favors then I asked for nothing in return Now those friends have all disappeared I guess there’s still so much to learn Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t you go where the road don’t go Because you’ll never run You’ll never outrun the gun Bridge: Well I said it don’t come easy Well I sure know how it feels Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t you go where the road don’t go Because you’ll never run You’ll never outrun the gun Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t go where the road don’t go Don’t go Don’t you go where the road don’t go
