Just one mistake that a man can make
when he has the world tied down
is to let it ride on an easy lie
and close his eyes
and close his eyes
Don't let me go down that road again
I know where it leads and how it ends
Right now I need the kind of friend
Who won't let me go down that road again
I set her free and called it love
and I watched her slip away
I let her go in a place so dark
after all these days
after all these days
Don't let me go down that road again
I know where it leads and how it ends
Right now I need the kind of friend
Who won't let me go down that road again
There is a man who looks just like me
who doesn't feel a single thing
if you see him around
won't you stop and say
it's not too late
it's not too late
Don't let me go down that road again
I know where it leads and how it ends
Right now I need the kind of friend
Who won't let me go down that road again
