Terry Reid – The Road We Chose lyrics

Well there’s so many statements
And there’s so many words
Voices in the city
That are screaming to be heard

There’s radicals and rascals
Reasons to be heard
Meanwhile back in Jimmy’s city
It’s your turn

Talk about children
Talk about fame
Talk about anything that’ll cause you pain
There’s many in the cities
And there’s many little towns
But there’s always some kid
That’ll go talk it around

I’m talking about Slim and Tommy
Paul will do just what he wants to
Talk about Dave’s got a story
Just tried to help
But everybody really got to help themselves

Down in Atlanta
You can do what you do
Back you can take a few on
Soon as you can do
And you can walk around with no shoes
And you ask Mr Jones
And he won’t tell you the truth

Back on the West Coast
Everyday they must sustain
I’ll tell you all
The best thing that ever really happened
Was to get up a band and get together again

Seen it before
You will see it again
Is this the point of no return
It’s just the strange infraction
Between lovers and friends

Is this the road we chose

Meanwhile back on the West Coast
Everyday they must sustain
They tell you how the best thing that’s ever really happened
Was just to split up a band and get together again

Seen it before
You will see it again
Is this the point of no return
It’s just the strange infraction
Between lovers and friends

Is this the road we chose
Is this the road we chose
Is this the road we chose
This is the road we chose

Well there’s so many statements
And there’s so many words
The voices in the city
They all scream out to be heard

There’s radicals and rascals
Reasons to be heard
Meanwhile back in Jimmy’s city
Had to make sure that he’s heard

You could talk about children
You could talk about fame
Talk about anything that’ll cause you pain
While there’s many cities
And many little old towns
But there’s always some badass kid
Go talk it around

Meanwhile back on the West Coast
Everyday they must sustain
They tell you how the best thing that’s ever really happened
Was just to split up a band and get together again

Seen it before
See it again
It ain’t the point of no return
It’s just the strange infraction
Between lovers and friends

Is this the road we chose
I suppose so
Is this the road we chose
Is this the road we chose
This is the road we chose
Is this the road
