Which way



Which way

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

Which way
How bout right
That seems easy

For some reason I feel sleazy

Which way

That sure feels like defeat
I know I would take flack
The old me would be nice to meet

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
