GLIDE
Wanna make art that nobody sees
So they'll say it's brilliant, but that's a disease
Old man sittin' across the street on a porch
World of stories but he's obsolete they say of course
Fashion style it's just a trend
Might be for some but in the end
It's not what gets taken but what gets sent
Not what's said but it's in the intent
Glide right through it
When they say you can't do it
All the signs say stop and turn back
Then I know that I'm on the right track
Just glide, I just glide, I just glide
My swan song so I'm outta here
A good exit is always something to cheer
The kids they're alright by me
We missed something but it's something they'll see
I learn so much from you
Don't laugh about it you know it's true
All the wisdom all the glory
Doesn't mean a thing if there's no love in the story
Glide right through it
When they say you can't do it
All the signs cry stop and turn back
Then I know that I'm on the right track
Just glide, I just glide, I just glide
Clouds are clearing the sun's shinin' in
Looks like we weathered a tough season again
Should have known better with you by my side
A little love's gonna make everything gonna be alright
Life's a highway it's been said
Sometimes the road gets rough it hurts my head
We love to ride you know it's true
Runnin' hard through the night
'til the skies turn blue
Glide right through it
When they say you can't do it
All the signs say stop and turn back
Then I know that I'm on the right track
Just glide, I just glide, I just glide
I just glied, I just glide, I just glide
C'mon and glide, I just glide, I just glide, I just glide
