ROAD SONG

copyright 1996 Kristen Sellgren


VERSE 1:      Too much travel, too far from home
              Too many hotel rooms, too many nights alone

CHORUS:       I need to learn to say no
              I need to say I won't go

VERSE 2:      Too much wasted time, too much bad food
              Not enough exercise, not enough you

CHORUS

MIDDLE-8 #1:  Everywhere looks the same to me, 
              Is it yen or euros I'm spending?
              Fast forward through this life of mine, 
              Where's the happy ending?

VERSE 3:      So many strangers with insincere smiles
              So many opportunities for frequent flyer miles

CHORUS

MIDDLE-8 #2:  Everywhere looks the same to me, 
              Is it pesos or dollars I'm spending?
              Fast forward through this life of mine, 
              Where's the happy ending?

VERSE 4:      My house looks unfamiliar when I get back
              I'll arrange the next trip, then I'll unpack

OUTRO:        Next time I promise to say no
              Next time I'll say I won't go
              I won't go
