Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Winter '78, I finally quit the band for a job back home with family I didn't see the trouble comin' down as my guitar became a stranger to me. Fresh outta school, steady paycheck in hand my pockets full of cash an office in the field helping farmers work the land three good years before the crash Then the market broke the farms banks came calling for the keys I closed up shop, watched the bridges burn, the hometown wasn't home to me The right roads don't always lead you home and the wrong ones are paved with alibis, if my guitar is my compass when I go, I'll find my road, my songs will be the stars I'm guided by Went to work on Wall Street, found no peace of mind. Started playing downtown bars, Finally broke away, left the suits behind, traded stocks for tips in a jar On a corner you'll find me now in SoHo playin' like I'm paying off a debt, guitar case catching quarters for a solo, but it's better than a promise never kept... feels better than a promise never kept... The right roads don't always lead you home and the wrong ones are paved with alibis, but if my guitar is my compass when I go, I'll find my road ...yes I will repeat Chorus and my songs'll be the stars I travel by my songs'll be the stars I travel by Come my friend guide me home won't you help me find my road be my compass when I go Take it out
