Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've lost my mind on what I'd find All of the pressure that I left behind On Allison Road Fools in the rain if the sun gets through Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road Dark clouds file the moon is near Birds fly by a.m. in her bedroom stare There's no telling what I might find I couldn't see I was lost at the time... Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time On Allison Road So she fills up her sails with my wasted breath And each one's more wasted that the others you can bet On Allison Road Now I can't hide so why not drive I know I want to love her but I can't decide On Allison Road I didn't know I was lost at the time Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide So I went looking for an exit sign All I wanted to find tonight...
