Last night I woke up crying And in the darkness I tasted the tears I can't explain this dream that haunts me Down through the years Maybe it's the strain of trying to prove I'm on the path of a decent groove
You never come so close to dying When you turn away from what you know There's nothing but the pain When you keep denying what's in your soul There's so many lonely roads to choose Far from the path of a decent groove
And there's no good in looking back on times that are gone It comes down to how you react to chances blown But I see two young men leading their lives so cool They're on the path of a decent groove
A girl raised back in the wilderness Who could have known our path would cross But down through the years we stick together through it all She's close to the wolf with eyes the palest of blue They're on the path of a decent groove
But there are words to be wrote and songs to be sung And I can only hope someone will keep it going on And I hear a young voice ringing true She's on the path of a decent groove
