Which way

Michael Anthony

Which way

Which way
Left sounds good
What's that you say
But they would

Which way
How bout right
That seems easy
Now my friends are outta sight
For some reason I feel sleazy

Which way
I could go back
That sure feels like defeat
I know I would take flack
The old me would be nice to meet

Which way
I have made up my mind
I will go with my heart
It was there all the time to find
My parents instilled the direction in me from the start

Which way
Even with that
It's hard to say
