Well I rode a while, for a mile or so   Down the road to the 18th Avenue   And the people I saw were the people I know   And they all came down to take a view   The path was dark and borderless   Down the road to the 18th Avenue      And it stung my tongue to repeat the words   That I used to use only yesterday   Meanings just dropped to the ground   I tried to remember what I thought   And what I used to say   Don't let me go down, no don't let me go      Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside   The empty waste of another day   Memories were blank to my eyes   The fire and the glory of that night   Seemed safely locked away   Too hungry to rise, too hungry to      Well I rode a while, for a mile or so   Down the road to the 18th Avenue   And the people I saw were the people I know   And they all came down to take a view   The path was dark and borderless   Down the road to the 18th Avenue      But my head felt better as I turned the car   And the airport slowly came to view   "One mile" Said the sign   I checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22   Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
