Thousand Roads Lyrics

David Crosby



David Crosby: Vocal, Electric Guitar



Jeff Pevar: Lead Electric Guitar



James 'Hutch' Hutchinson: Bass



Michael Finnigan: Keyboards



Jody Cortez: Drums



Instrumental (Electric Guitars)



I used to walk around with my eyes on fire



My nerves real close to my skin



Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek



And we would skate where the ice got thin







And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on a hilltop



Smoke blowin' down in the street



Some kind of sweet smellin' mystical backdrop



To the story unfolding at my feet







There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air



There's an edge to the twist of a knife



There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there



Just around the corner from life







And I, I have no answers



I got no patented path to set you free



Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go



And it's probably not the same place as me







Instrumental (Electric Guitar)



There's a thousand roads up this mountain



You can get lost in a minute if you try



And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah



Lookin' this close in your eye







I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain



You can get lost in a minute if you try



It's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah



Looking this close in your eye, in your eye



In your eye







Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitars)
