No Use Running - Don Williams

The weather vane out on the shed

Is looking to the west

I reckon I’ll head that way

It’s good as any way I guess

Closing this old gate kinda ends our episode

'Cause there’s no use running

When you’re on the wrong road

Gal, it wouldn’t take much

For someone to define

All the contradicting flashes

That burn across our minds

But there’s no way to communicate

If you don’t know the code

And there’s no use running

When you’re on the wrong road

--- Instrumental ---

There’s times I get to thinking

About the way it might have been

And I wonder how we got

To this state that were in

But every word we spoke

Only added to the load

And there’s no use running

When you’re on the wrong road

Guess we knew somethings

You’ve got to fight to win

But you get to standing back

After leading with your chin

We both learned to young

That you reap what’s been sowed

And there’s no use running

When you’re on the wrong road

Well, there’s no use running

When you’re on the wrong road…
