Roads Less Traveled

from Rise Again by 800 Octane

lyrics

Much has changed the past few years . Where will I be when this smoke all clears? . Will I still enjoy the driving . Where we'd laugh the whole way home . Will I still love the feeling that comes from playing shows? . What's on the radio? . Styles always come and go . But I'm still here doing the only thing I know . Gotta work after driving all night . The boss said "Dave, you're looking tired . What do you do this for . If you're not getting signed?" . And I said . I have done my time . No one can say I never tried . And these have been the best years of my life . And I need something to believe in . So I raise my glass to you . And say "Thank you for supporting what we do" . I've always held on to a dream . And it still tastes so sweet . I would close my eyes and drift off into sleep . Starts with my friends and I . Driving around the countryside . And then I realized that this has . Come to be . I know there may come a day . When I will not have time to just . Drive around and play . But until that moment comes . I will be doing things my way . And I would like to take this time to say . I will remember these days . Long after times when I am old and gray . And if somebody ever asks me what this time was like . I'll just smile, and say . "The best years of my life."
