Broken Compass

about

Living & traveling on the road, as a Deadhead. The whole happy scene, is really very dark. This song is for those of us who have experienced the fallout from it. Some people never come home. Every road is not necessarily golden.

lyrics

Out on the road.
Cold cold rain , cold cold snow.
Reference’s a metaphor, for all that is wrong.
As the sidelines go rolling on.

Out on my own.
Stealin' my face , selling my soul.
No means of getting, myself back home.
And the sidelines go rollin on.

Out of my town.
Riding my horse , Shaking em' down.
Selling my shoes just to stay warm.
And the sidelines go rolling on.

Out on the road.
Cold cold rain , cold cold snow.
Reference’s a metaphor, for all that is wrong.
As the sidelines go rolling on.

Chorus:
Be back by next Friday at least.
Bringing you home, something to feed.
but the arms getting tired,
and Im' so wired. 
Living it out, 100 miles at a time.
Living my life, 100 miles at a time.
