DAVID CROSBY lyrics - Thousand Roads

(David Crosby)



Well, I used to walk around with my eyes on fire



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Well I used to walk around with my eyes on fire

My nerves real close to my skin

Had a fist full of questions a brand on my cheek

And we would skate where the ice got thin



And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on a hilltop

Smoke blowin' down in the street

Some kind of sweet smellin' mystical backdrop

To the story unfolding at my feet



There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air

There's an edge to the twist of a knife

There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there

Just around the corner from life



And I have no answers

I got no patented path to set you free

Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go

And it's probably not the same place as me



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost in a minute if you try

And it's probably enough that I was laughing today

And lookin' this close in your eye



I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost if you try

It's probably enough that I was laughing today, yeah

Looking this close in your eye, in your eye

In your eye



[Instrumental Ending (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar)]
