On the road
The Expos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't decide which way I'm going
So I look which way the river is flowing.
I kick my feet, the path untrodden
But my footsteps, they will soon not be forgotten.

I can't decide which way I'm going
So I look which way the river is flowing.
I kick my feet, the path untrodden
But my footsteps, they will soon not be forgotten.
