The Road Leads Down - Chris Whitley, Jeff Lang

Map’s a crooked tangle of sin

Take eternity to unravel

The rarified air is thin

Unbreathed down in the rabble

It’s all wrong

It’s taken so long

To build this road

That leads down

You’re not a silver but a tin

Fill your bucket up with gravel

So well-trained to think this has been

The only path we could ever travel

It’s all wrong

It’s taken so long

To build this road

That leads down

safds

It’s false hope on which we’re feeding

Grab the neck hold on the mother load

Cut its gut and leave it bleedin'

It’s all wrong

It’s taken so long

To build this road

That leads down

Leads down

That leads down
