THOUSAND ROADS- David Crosby

I used to walk around with my eyes on fire

My nerves real close to my skin

Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek

We would skate where the ice got thin

CHORUS #1:

And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on the hill

And smoke blowin' down in the street

Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop

To the story unfolding at my feet

Now there's an edge to the twister I throw back in the air

There's an edge to the twist of the knife

There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there

Just around the corner from life

CHORUS #2:

And I, I have no answers

I got no patented path to set you free

Besides, I wouldn't know where you wanted to go

And it's probably not the same place as me

Now there's a thousand roads up this mountain

You can get lost in a minute if you try

And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today

And looking this close in your eye

CHORUS #3:

I said there's a thousand roads up this mountain, yeah

You can get lost in a minute if you try

It's probably enough that I was just laughing today

Looking this close in your eye

In your eye

In your eye
