Lost In The Road

Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)



Have you ever had the feeling like you were lost,
And the price for advice was your sanity it cost.
Seems your back is always up against the wall,
Like you're on the front line of a war with no help to call.
It makes you wonder - is life just to be this way,
Or have we just been caught up in the games that people play?
I feel like a pawn in the chess game of life,
I don't understand why all of my days are filled with strife.
Have I chosen the wrong path to follow right from the start,
Will all of these pressures cause me an attack of the heart?
So I Guess I'll just simply try to get thru one more day,
Who knows maybe - just maybe - the Lord will show me the way.
