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 l'm back and l'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

Seeing people on the freeway takes me back to where l started from
I was riding on the big wheel, I was walking in a midnight sun
Well, l 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
'Cause you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun

Well, l said it don't come easy
Well, l 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
'Cause 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
