Tracks To Nowhere

Copyright 2016 by Wes Tibbets



VERSE ONE



The things I say they don't sink in

But son I was once just like you

Sixteen years old I was wild and free

And I didn't listen too

Times may have changed but just what if

I'm the one that you'll become

The day will dawn you look back and see

All the things that you should've done



CHORUS



Don't follow tracks to nowhere

All you will find there is pain and tears

Don't be like me or you'll end up here

Following tracks to nowhere

Don't follow tracks to nowhere



VERSE TWO



The price you pay for living that way

Is measured in all that you've lost

Chances have passed, I've come in last

Life is a coin I tossed

I can see the man that you could be

He is someone I can't get back

Son, there is so much more to live life for

You don't want to go out like that



CHORUS



Don't follow tracks to nowhere

All you will find there is pain and tears

Don't be like me or you'll end up here

Following tracks to nowhere

Don't follow tracks to nowhere



BRIDGE



The path you're taking leads nowhere

A needle in my arm is how I got there

I only say these things because I care

You're following tracks to nowhere



CHORUS



Don't follow tracks to nowhere

All you will find there is pain and tears

Don't be like me or you'll end up here

Following tracks to nowhere

Don't follow tracks to nowhere



TAG



Believe me son, you don't want to be here

Don't follow tracks to nowhere

Who can not like an advice song, and you have put some great lines in here, really liked the

The price you pay for living that way
Is measured in all that you've lost


Improvements well they are varied but for mine the story doesnt progress enough.

Each Verse and the Chorus are basically saying the same thing

Maybe trying to change the sections to be seperate with no bleeding for one to the other
V1 - what I Did - my life
Chorus - dont follow my tracks
V2 - what the son is doing now
Chorus - dont follow my tracks
Bridge - you one day may father my grandchild
dont want you having to say to him
Chorus - dont follow my tracks

Hi Arty,

I hope you've been doing well. The lyric forum sure has been dead lately. I appreciate the kind words and suggestions. I think it has an unfinished feel to it as well. I just haven't come up with anything that would benefit it. I got caught up in other projects and so forth. I'm afraid this write just sorta fell by the wayside for the time being. Best wishes!
