next corner

hit the highway
doing a hundred and ten
not caring
not afraid of death

it was fun while it lasted
but who knows what’s around that

next corner

people pulling you
this way and that
try a different hat
try seat of your pants

it was fun while it lasted
but who knows what’s around that

next corner

mixing a gin and tonic
sitting at your home bar
crept up on it
before you knew it went too far

it was fun while it lasted
but who knows what’s around that

next corner

pour your heart on the table
risk it all for love
get left at the altar
get left broken and spent

it was fun while it lasted
but who knew what was around that

next corner
