lyrics

Look Down the Road

The grass here sure is brown
Bound to be greener over there
Maybe there won’t be anyone
Ragging on my long hair
I’m getting kind of tired
Of all the crap in this old town
Sorry I have to tell you
I won’t be sticking around

I’m not one to waste time looking back
Doesn’t matter what happened before, what I never had
I must be moving before I’m too damn old
Wonder where I’m heading? Just look down the road

Wasn’t too long, plans were made
Soon the deed of leaving was done
On the road with a couple of friends
In an old car that barely runs
Along the way we argue
But we have plenty of fun
Searching for that greener grass
Speeding down old route 101

I’m not one to waste time looking back
Doesn’t matter what happened before, what I never had
I must be moving before I’m too damn old
Wonder where I’m heading? Just look down the road

Never wanted to hurt your feelings
It was nothing you did or said
I knew I’d be leaving
Staying long’s not in my head

West coast ain’t much different
‘Cept that the grass’s always brown
Parted ways with my old friends
Got a job when the car broke down
Heard you called, looking for me
But your memory hurts down to my soul
Thinking about heading out one more time
Wondering where my wandering will lead … as I look down the road

I’m not one to waste time looking back
Doesn’t matter what happened before, what I never had
I must be moving before I’m too damn old
Wonder where I am tonight? Look down the road

Mike Birch Methuen, Massachusetts

For Mike, it all started on a Sunday night in 1964 ... February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
