Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive,

Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive.

In 69, I was 21 and I called the road my own.

I don't know where this road turned into the one I'm on.

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels.

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels.

I look around for the friends that I used to turn to that pulled me through.

Looking into their eyes, I see they're running, too.
