[Verse 1]
I woke up from a bad dream
To the howling of a lonely night
But the walls come closing in
Like the victim of a one-way fight
I don't remember many yesterdays
I left a lot of things undone
Now I'm back and I'm here to say
I'm looking after number one
[Chorus]
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go [x2]
[Verse 2]
Seeing people on the freeway
Takes me back to where I started from
I was riding on the big wheel
I was walking in a midnight sun
Well, I did a lot of favors then
I asked for nothing in return
Now those friends have all disappeared
I guess there's still so much to learn
[Chorus]
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go [x2]
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go
Because you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun
[Bridge]
Well, I said it don't come easy
Well, I sure know how it feels
[Chorus]
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go [x4]
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go
Because you'll never run, you'll never outrun the gun
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go [x2]
Don't go, don't you go where the road don't go
I woke up from a bad dream
To the howling of a lonely night
But the walls come closing in
Like the victim of a one-way fight
I don't remember many yesterdays
I left a lot of things undone
Now I'm back and I'm here to say
I'm looking after number one
[Chorus]
Don't go, don't go where the road don't go [x2]
