That's a fine house that you've got my friend
fill it with your little ones, and all of your possessions
you figured it out, and on your first try too
You make it look easy just being you
I think I know where this road will take me now
It's beaten rough under the big damn rush
Look at you now, you're exhausted but you're proud
I guess I stopped to smell the roses
I must admit, I was slow on the draw
The race-gun fired, and I lingered just a little too long
but I tried it your way, and for a while I kept up
and for a while I was unhappy, now I can tell you I'm not
I think I know where this road will take me now
It's beaten rough under the big damn rush
We'll meet at the end, this is my pace my old friend
I'm veering off to smell the roses
It's the way that we've been told to go
but it's not the one we all should follow
so don't wait for me I'm taking it slow
and I'm gonna enjoy it
I think I know where this road will take me now
It's beaten rough under the big damn rush
Don't mistake this for advice, you just keep living your life
and one day maybe I will see you
at the roses

Thanks for checking out my work! I know its a small collection and I only upload a new song every half year, but I'm trying to upload more frequently since at least a few people seem to enjoy what I do. Everyone's support and kind words are appreciated more than you could ever believe. ... more
