How do I know where to put my next? How do I know where it should go? After 26 years, I still think you just guess. I do what I do as I’m told. CHORUS Just looking for sweet things on the side of the road. We don’t want to miss nothing. That’s why we’re…

Trouble’s they’re gone like the rains washed over the world that I’m in. Tears could run down a face but I live in the wind. Puddle in my footstep. I wander thinking by my control. Over there’s the day of people is not all I know, not all I know, not all I know. I’m…
