Banjo Frank's Music

Code Of The Road

Well if I had it all
to do all over again
I'd do it all over
again if I had to
but if I'd known then
what I know now
I'd have put that knowledge
to better use somehow
or not
you bet
so what

Well its another day of cold
for the old banjo man
with nothing to look forward to
tomorrow but rain
I would be disturbed and distraught no doubt
if I only had a brain
but my brain's been burned away by bad abuses
and years have gone by and now is now
and its just another cold night
to get thru somehow
it would be a pain
if I only had a brain

Yup the rainy season is upon us babe
all we can do is b-b-be b-b-b-brave
rain interspersed with cold cold cold
its not so bad when you're not so old
you're not so old I hear someone say
aw honey it gets heavy on a rainy day

but oh sure oh sure I'll keep trudging along
oh sure oh sure I'll keep singin them old songs
but it ain't like I know I'm right where I belong
hell it ain't even like I know I ain't been
doin it all wrong
but oh sure oh sure I'll keep trudging along
cause that's the code of the road I'm on

Code of the road code of the road
code of the road I'm on
code of the road code of the road
code of the road I'm on

And I don't expect to ever get
no better than I am
but honey at this point in time
that don't mean a damn
I just promise to hang in there
and to keep on playin my banjo
and to deal with whatever comes along
cause that's the code of the road I'm on

Code of the road code of the road
code of the road I'm on
code of the road code of the road
code of the road I'm on

Now some want lots of money
and some crave the adulation
and then there's some that think it would
be really great to be really good
now I'd say that's a higher aspiration
but its the same kind of delusion
when its a delusion

But the code of the road can keep you goin
and when nothing else is left
well that's what you got left
the code of the road you're on

Code of the road code of the road
code of the road you're on
code of the road code of the road
code of the road you're on

But I'd still be disturbed
and distraught no doubt
if I only had a brain
or not
you bet
so what
