Roadblocks and detours and ever winding roads<\/p>\n
weary feet, disheveled mess<\/p>\n
where it ends, I hope to know<\/p>\n
cognizant boycott of roots going down<\/p>\n
never in life was a I tied to the ground<\/p>\n
mad nomad wandering this place<\/p>\n
swirling gypsy feels no disgrace<\/p>\n
the allure of the road, adventures untold<\/p>\n
new strangers make friends to meet sometime again<\/p>\n
down this road<\/p>\n
train tracks, and horse tracks, many rivers have flowed over these feet<\/p>\n
treasures untold, maybe gold maybe goldfish or just pyrite shine<\/p>\n
the lakes and the valleys, the mountains divine<\/p>\n
I saw a bovine<\/p>\n
on the grass supine, I tasted<\/p>\n
clementine in the tart summer wine<\/p>\n
seasons they pass, none of ’em last<\/p>\n
home is where I roam, outside the walls of Rome<\/p>\n
I saw there a roan sitting upon a throne<\/p>\n
do my rhymes make you groan?<\/p>\n
or can you hold a smile and walk another mile through this<\/p>\n
purgatory of deprivation, sleep annihilation<\/p>\n
verging on desperation<\/p>\n
walk with me until I crawl again<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
