I know please don't tell me
You heard I'm headed down a one-way road
But everybody's following a story
Nothing that I feel the need to know
What is yet to come is anybody's guess
Worried too much about future happiness
Instead of taking things for what they are right now
Spend my whole life living out the past
So I'm packing everything I own in boxes
Head out to the border out of town
Throw it off the bridge and hit the highway
Don't know where I'm headed or where I'm bound
Learn your life from a paperback book
And never from the chances you took
Is it possible to know true happiness without sorrow?
Leaving this old town won't cause me trouble
Wish I'd done it sooner than today
Faltered at the starting gate for ages
Now it's time I get out on my way
Well my car broke down in the middle of the scenery
Walked ten miles with my thumb out but no one sees me
The blisters on my feet about to kill me
Summer heat a 'weighin' on my back
People round here are nice I'm told but they keep passing by all the same
Some folks simply roll along while others are just strange
Well I get myself from one jam into another
Test my patience - test my will to fly
Nothing's gonna block my destination
Cause it keeps on changing places in my mind
