Straight Ahead - Jeanne Lee, Mal Waldron

Straight ahead the road keeps winding

Narrow, wet and dimly lit

Vainly looking for a crossroad

Where a weary soul can sit

Lost and needing some direction

Dodging ruts along the way

Bumpy road, confuse a body

Lead a trusting soul astray

For some this road is smooth and easy

Travelin' high without a care

But if ya got to use the back roads

Straight ahead can lead nowhere

On this road you got a problem

Getting where you want to go

Speed limits almost down to nothing

Straight ahead but oh so slow
