MCCALLISTER ROAD

Five nights since I saw his taillights Headed up McCallister road

Head down he had come around as far as he ever would go

And all those years and my wasted tears

Lay as silent in the dark as the stones on McCallister road

Five days and I’m in a haze staring out at McCallister road

Breathe deep and try to keep the balance where the line is bowed

And all those times I should have changed my mind

Crumble into dust on the side of McCallister road

I’ve never been one to live for the things that are bought and sold

And I can’t be bound by a love that gives only lies that are empty and cold

And I have tried to keep it all inside

But I’m headed for a day far away from McCallister Road

Five years since I faced my fears In the middle of McCallister Road

Stand still and try to feel the truth that remains untold

And all those times I never spoke my mind

Are lost at the cost of the journey from McCallister Road
