This comes from the CD booklet for Dave's This Town CD, issued in 1993 on the Vanguard label. I hadn't paid attention to the song before - it's a good one. -Joe Offer (e-mail sent)-
THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER (Dave Mallett) I had a sweetheart in my younger days I thought she'd leave me never But some things go and leave no trace But the road goes on forever I've had good friends in my life Around me they did gather And without them I'd have surely died But the road goes on forever When I fell from the arms of my lover When I fell from the long arm of the law As I dove down deep in my fitful sleep Highway is all I saw And there ain't no sure hand in this deal We all just take whatever But nights like this I always feel That the road goes on forever When I fell from the arms of my lover When I fell from the luck of the draw As I dove down deep in my fitful sleep Highway is all that I saw Sometimes when I'm standing still It hits me like a shiver That there ain't no mansion on no hill Just a road that goes on forever. © 1993, Forerunner Music ASCAP Robert Earl Keen's "Road Goes On Forever" is in This thread (click)
