Kerouac

Lyrics: Bill Laymon
Music: Bill Laymon

Take me back, Jack Kerouac
One step forward and three steps back
Don't lose yourself along the track
Of life's long winding road

People may say you've got a lot to learn
I say you don't let yourself get burned
And people don't get so concerned
About me

'Cause I still got a long way to go
I still got a long way to go

Set me free Neal Cassady
Your sky looks the same to me
That road you burned through eternity
While the wheels go round and round

Howl on Allen until dawn
Daylight will seem a long way on
The poem ain't done until it's done
That ain't me

'Cause I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
I still got a long way to go

So on we go for stories yet untold
Your life lies yet along the road
If you're Jack, Neal or Tom Joad
The road lies on before you

Take me back, Jack Kerouac
One step forward and three steps back
Don't lose yourself along the track
And start worrying about me

'Cause I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
'Cause I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)

'Cause I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
'Cause I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
I still got a long way to go
(Gotta stand up, gotta stand up)
