I realized I was going After I was gone I didn't want to leave her But I had already left I didn't have the money When the bus was moving It was moving moving moving Down the black black road Yeah Well I wound up in Paris Searching for a ride Maybe for anywhere There's comedy on my side It must've been summer A little premature Cause all I see is how we fight And the smell of that manure [Chorus] Down the black Down the black road Down the black road Oh Well I couldn't play violin She had firecracker hair Well I thought she was the one you know But I should've been aware Got a job at the winery Threw the Frisbee at night in the kitchen But all I kept thinking 'bout Was ditching ditching ditching out [Chorus] Down the black Down the black road Down the black road Oh I thought I knew what I wanted There's no doubt in my mind No need for destinations No need for the time But your head turns into oatmeal And days turn into years And things get real distorted When you're living living living living living in a real blue mirror The black road Down the black road Down the black road Down the black road
