Jean Spencer: Music
Where the Pavement Ends
(10)
There's a house I know down that dirt road.
And I lived there long ago.
And I haven't been back since I left for school.
You're the only person that I know, who could listen to me now.
So listen to me now and tell me where I've gone so wrong
To fall so low.
Cause I've thought all I can think
And it's brought me to the brink
So I'm asking as a friend, walk with me out where the pavement ends.
So why do I keep going back
Now that my car has jumped the track.
It don't seem to do no good to cry and cry.
But there's something there I guess I need
Under the cedars and the redbud trees.
I've got to see those bright red cannas blooming
In between the Georgia sun and the hard baked clay.
Cause I've thought all I can think
And it's brought me to the brink
So I'm asking as a friend, walk with me out where the pavement ends.
Out where the pavement ends,
That's where a broken spirit mends.
Cause I've thought all I can think
And I've drunk all I can drink.
So I'm asking as a friend, walk with me out where the pavement ends.
I'm asking as a friend, walk with me out where the pavement ends.
